Emma's War: An Aid Worker, a Warlord, Radical Islam, and the Politics of Oil--A True Story of Love and Death in Sudan Hardcover - 2002

by Deborah Scroggins


From the publisher

Emma McCune's passion for Africa, her unstinting commitment to the children of the Sudan, and her youthful beauty and glamour set her apart from other relief workers from the moment she arrived in southern 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 -- and to throw herself into his violent quest to take over southern Sudan's rebel movement.

With precision and insight, Deborah Scroggins -- who met McCune in the Sudan -- harts the process by which McCune's romantic delusions led to her descent into the hell of Africa's longest running civil war. Emma's War is at once a disturbing love story and an up-close look at the Sudan: a world where international aid fuels armies instead of the starving population, where the northern-based Islamic government -- apparently backed by Osama bin Laden -- is locked in a war with the Christian and pagan south over religion, oil, and slaves.

A timely, revelatory account of the nature of relief work, of the men and women who choose to carry it out, and of one woman's sacrifice to its ideals.
