Daunt Books

This is Pulitzer prize-winning novelist Philip Caputo's heart-wrenching novel set in The Sudan. Deeply informative, it looks with brutal honesty and factual detail at the war, corruption and tribal conflict, yet it is also a powerful narrative focusing on a host of fictional western characters from missionaries, to aid-workers to pilots. Caputo takes us beyond moral dilemmas, beyond good and evil, to a country where it is a question of doing what is necessary in order to survive.
