Summary:

Necessary Targets is a powerful and moving account of the experiences of women during wartime. Through the eyes of four unforgettable characters, the book explores the devastating impact of war on women's lives, from the physical and psychological trauma they endure to the social and economic challenges they face.

The book follows the stories of four women from different backgrounds and walks of life. There's Mariama, a young schoolgirl from Sierra Leone who is abducted by rebels and forced to become a child soldier. There's Razia, an Afghan woman who is sold into marriage at the age of 12 and then widowed when her husband is killed in a bombing raid. There's Hawa, a Somali woman who is raped and impregnated by government soldiers during the Somali Civil War. And there's Samia, an Iraqi woman who is forced to flee her home when her city is invaded.

These four women's stories are told with unflinching honesty and compassion. Lamb does not shy away from the horrors of war, but she also shows us the resilience and strength of the human spirit. These women are survivors, and their stories are a testament to the power of hope and love.
