Description

Over the past two decades, the situation in Africa’s largest country, Sudan, has steadily deteriorated: the country is in second position on the Failed States Index, a war in Darfur has claimed hundreds of thousands of deaths, President Bashir has been indicted by the International Criminal Court, a forthcoming referendum on independence for Southern Sudan threatens to split the country violently apart.

In this fascinating and immensely readable book, the Africa editor of the Economist gives an absorbing account of Sudan’s descent into failure and what some have known as genocide. Drawing on interviews with a few of the main players, Richard Cockett explains how and why Sudan has disintegrated, having a look in particular on the country’s complex relationship with the wider world. He shows how america and Britain were to start with complicit in Darfur—but in addition how a broad coalition of human-rights activists, right-wing Christians, and opponents of slavery succeeded in bringing the issues to prominence in america and creating an impetus for change on the absolute best level.
