| 內容簡介： |
Tall, striking, and adventurous to a fault, young British
relief worker Emma McCune came to Sudan determined to make a
difference in a country decimated by the longest-running civil war
in Africa. She became a near legend in the bullet-scarred,
famine-ridden country, but her eventual marriage to a rebel warlord
made international headlines—and spelled disastrous consequences
for her ideals.
Enriched by Deborah Scroggins’s firsthand experience as an
award-winning journalist in Sudan, this unforgettable account of
Emma McCune’s tragically short life also provides an up-close look
at the volatile politics in the region. It’s a world where
international aid fuels armies as well as the starving population,
and where the northern-based Islamic government—with ties to Osama
bin Laden—is locked in a war with the Christian and pagan south
over religion, oil and slaves. Tying together these vastly
disparate forces as well as Emma’s own role in the problems of the
region, Emma’s War is at once a disturbing love story and a
fascinating exploration of the moral quandaries behind humanitarian
aid.
