Description

Former United States Marine Brian Steidle served for six months in Darfur as an unarmed military observer for the African Union. There he witnessed first-hand the ongoing genocide, and documented each day of his experience the use of email, audio journals, notebook after notebook and nearly 1,000 photographs. Gretchen Steidle Wallace, his sister, who wrote this book with Brian, corresponded with him right through his time in Darfur. Fired upon, taken hostage, a witness to villages destroyed and people killed, frustrated by his mission’s limitations and the international community’s reluctance to intervene, Steidle resigned and has since change into an advocate for the world to step in and stop this genocide.

The Devil Came on Horseback depicts the tragic affect of an Arab government bent on destroying its black African citizens, the maddening complexity of international state of no activity in accordance with blatant genocide, and the awkward, yet heroic transformation of a formerMarine turned humanitarian. This is a gripping and moving memoir that bears witness to atrocities we’ve too long averted our eyes from, and reveals that the actions of only one committed person have the power to change the world.
