Dorwin recommends The Devil Came on Horseback
"The Devil Came on Horseback" is a gripping and moving memoir that
bears witness to atrocities we have too long averted our eyes from, and reveals
that the actions of just one committed person have the power to change the
world.
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 every day of his experience
using 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 throughout 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 become an advocate for the world to
step in and stop this genocide. annotation courtesy of booksamillion.com
