  The late Nils Thedin, former head of the Swedish Save the Children Fund, dreamed of a world safe for children, in which they would no longer be the innocent victims of war. This is the story of how Unicef, the international agency for children, took on the task of realizing his dream.;As well as outlining Unicef's invaluable work, Vittachi explores the psychological effects of growing up in a war-traumatized environment, such as El Salvador, Uganda, Mozambique, Somalia, the Sudan, Ethiopia, Liberia or the Gulf. She suggests ways forward to making the world a safer place for children.
