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.
