EMMA'S WAR(ISBN=9780375703775) 英文原版 pdf snb 115盘 kindle 在线 下载 pmlz mobi

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.

媒体评论

“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
