The ensuing conflict shook humanity to its very core, often placing its highest ideals against a pure survival instinct. All too frequently, the Undine War demanded the harshest of sacrifices and exacted the steepest of personal costs from the countless millions whose lives the great interdimensional clash forever altered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawn from his exhaustive research and interviews, \u003ci\u003eThe Needs of the Many \u003c\/i\u003edelivers a glimpse of Betar Prize-winning author Jake Sisko's comprehensive living history of this tumultuous era.
