Emma's War: A True Story von Deborah Scroggins

This is a story of Sudan and even a bit about Somalia. The civil war is named after Emma who married Sudanese warlord Riek Machar. Apparently war's are often blamed on women and because she was his wife. Emma was an idealist aide to Africa. She was working to feed the children. The book is more about the politics of Sudan at the time and the story of Emma was interesting. I felt that this was very good journalism. I have to say, I learned a lot.

Emma's War von Deborah Scroggins

The man Emma married, Riek Machar, is one of two main combatants in the current civil war in South Sudan .
