Emma's War: A True Story

Emma's War: A True Story
- Deborah Scroggins
- History
- Africa
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 headlinesâ€”and spelled disastrous consequences for her ideals.

Enriched by Deborah Scrogginsâ€™s firsthand experience as an award-winning journalist in Sudan, this unforgettable account of Emma McCuneâ€™s tragically short life also provides an up-close look at the volatile politics in the region. Itâ€™s a world where international aid fuels armies as well as the starving population, and where the northern-based Islamic governmentâ€”with ties to Osama bin Ladenâ€”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 Emmaâ€™s own role in the problems of the region, Emmaâ€™s War is at once a disturbing love story and a fascinating exploration of the moral quandaries behind humanitarian aid.
