During wartime, the U.S. public is barraged with images and information about the current military offensive. But how much do we know about the effects that conflict has on war-torn regions years after the violence has ended? In many cases, countries recovering from war suffer from extremely high unemployment, environmental illness, limited access to resources and an absence of democracy. On this edition of Making Contact, we'll take a look at the Legacies of War - the aftermath of military conflicts, which take a toll on people worldwide.
