Emma's War: Love, Betrayal and Death in the Sudan

£7.99

From the very start, Emma McCune's unusual beauty and glamour set her apart from the other aid workers in the Sudan. But no one was prepared for her decision to marry a local warlord, a man who seemed to embody everything she was working against. Emma's choice led her into the hell of Africa's longest running civil war, and put her at the heart of a violent struggle to take over southern Sudan's rebel movement.

Scroggins builds her suspenseful account of the continuing Sudanese civil war around the short life of this fascinating Princess Diana/Lady Macbeth who crossed the line between the first and the third world. The result is a riveting, moving and often shocking story of all the passion, controversy and conflict that it entailed.

Emma's War is about the politics of the belly, and what happens when the fat white paunch meets the swollen stomachs of the hungry of Africa.
