Reviews
'A passionate and highly readable account of the current tragedy that combines intimate knowledge of the region's history, politics, and sociology with a telling cynicism about the polite but ineffectual diplomatic efforts to end it. It is the best account available of the Darfur crisis.' * Foreign Affairs *
'A fierce logic at the service of a powerful moral purpose'. -- The Guardian
'Rightly treats with scorn the monumental humbug displayed by the outside world towards this tragedy ... A timely analysis of the history and present condition of Darfur.' * The Telegraph *
'Anyone attempting to understand Darfur's intricate aspects of African consciousness and Arabian manifest destiny will appreciate this careful study.' -- Nairobi Arts Review
'Prunier's book is as impressive as the sheer audacity of his message: eleven years after the genocide in Rwanda, it is as if nothing has been learnt by the United Nations and the African Union'. -- Africa Today
'Essential for anyone wanting to learn about this complex conflict.' -- The Library Journal
