| Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, ethnic conflicts have grown and proliferated at an alarming rate. Understanding the nature of conflicts in which religious, linguistic, or racial divisions are a significant factor is now a crucial challenge for commentators and decision makers, whether in government, commerce, education or the media.
Fields of Fire – An Atlas of Ethnic Conflict provides a concise, authoritative commentary on each of the nearly one hundred ethnic conflicts around the world, with a summary of key dates, events and demographic data, together with specially drawn maps providing a geographical context.
Most of these conflicts remain active, and up-to-date information on what are often rapidly changing situations is
frequently hard to obtain. Fields of Fire – An Atlas of Ethnic Conflict is supported by its own dedicated website,
www.ethnic-conflict.info, providing resources, links, and news updates exclusively to owners of this Atlas.
