Review:
"Scroggins brings Sudan's agony to vivid life; at the same time, she gives us a lyrical, suspenseful, psychologically acute study in idealism and self-delusion." --George Packer, The New York Times Book Review "Breathtaking and beautifully written. . . . Deborah Scroggins weaves the greater issues of Sudan around [Emma] McCune's idealism." -USA Today "Brilliantly penetrating. . . . In [Emma McCune] Scroggins has found a feckless, captivating subject, as insufferable as the white man's insatiable need for redemption in Africa.... Scroggins undoes every illusion about aid, hunger and rebellion." -Washington Post "A wonderful, challenging book. . . . One of the best that I have ever read on the difficult relationship between the developed world and the Third World." --William Shawcross, Sunday Times (London)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 headlinesand spelled disastrous consequences for her ideals. Enriched by Deborah Scrogginss firsthand experience as an award-winning journalist in Sudan, this unforgettable account of Emma McCunes tragically short life also provides an up-close look at the volatile politics in the region. Its a world where international aid fuels armies as well as the starving population, and where the northern-based Islamic governmentwith ties to Osama bin Ladenis locked in a war with the Christian and pagan south over religion, oil and slaves. Tying together these vastly disparate forces as well as Emmas own role in the problems of the region, Emmas War is at once a disturbing love story and a fascinating exploration of the moral quandaries behind humanitarian aid.
