Reviews
Worthwhile read.
5By Anonymous Reader 161No stronger retrograde force exists in the world, and these days it keeps pushing onto our civilization like plague.Interesting account, but one sided
3By KhalidOsmanA interesting depiction of the war in Sudan. However it is very one sided from a colonist pout of view. Unsurprisingly the reader will identify racist undertones characteristic of the day and age the writer lived inExtraordinary detail
5By Nana_martiI just got the book earlier n all the detail in the book is amazing. I am a high schooler trying to read books that describe with non-childish words or phrases. This is just the book I needed thanx
