一个不同类型的战争故事把我们带到了近代历史上最残酷的战争之一的前线。故事发生在莫桑比克15年的恐怖战争中，这场战争夺去了100万人的生命，其中大部分是莫桑比克人，并彻底摧毁了房屋、农作物、医院、学校，甚至供水。小说中的人物是与战争作斗争的士兵，是从战争中获利的小偷和机会主义者，是生活被战争摧毁的普通人，是创造和平的英雄和治疗者。结合当代理论和创新的方法，诺德斯特龙探讨了恐怖战争的性质和文化，并提出了关于国家权力，平民抵抗和身份政治的发人深省的问题。她将莫桑比克的冲突与类似的冲突进行了比较，并提出了一种看待政治暴力的新方法，表明正如暴力是习得的，它也可以被摒弃。
A Different Kind of War Story takes us to the frontlines of one of the most brutal wars in recent history. The setting is Mozambique during the fifteen-year war of terror that took a million lives-mostly civilian-and completely destroyed homes, crops, hospitals, schools, and even access to water. The characters are the soldiers who fought it, the thieves and opportunists who profited from it, and the ordinary people whose lives were shattered by it and from whose ranks emerged the heroes and healers who created peace. Combining contemporary theory and innovative methodology, Nordstrom explores the nature and culture of terror warfare and raises thought-provoking questions about state power, civilian resistance, and the politics of identity. She compares the conflict in Mozambique with similar conflicts and offers a new way of looking at political violence, showing that just as violence is learned, it can be unlearned.
