Me Against My Brother by Scott Peterson
As a foreign correspondent, Scott Peterson witnessed firsthand Somalia's descent into war and its battle against US troops, the spiritual degeneration of Sudan's Holy War, and one of the most horrific events of the last half century: the genocide in Rwanda. In Me Against My Brother , he brings these events together for the first time to record a collapse that has had an impact far beyond African borders. Filled with dust, sweat and powerful detail, this book graphically illustrates how preventive action and a better understanding of Africa - especially by the US - could have averted much suffering.
'Journalism, at its best, is the first draft of historyPeterson was there to draft it in Somalia and Rwanda. His book is likely to emerge as the definitive study of just how indifferent our leaders can be to the suffering of Africans' - The Times - 'As succinct and gripping an account as l've read of the debacle.' - Evening Standard - 'An exemplar of eyewitness reporting and a call to action' - Fergal Keane, Financial Times - 'Certainly the most important book to have come out of the Dark Continent for decades' - The Times - 'Remarkable and important, [a] fine, courageous introduction to Africa's emerging multiple disasters' - The Scotsman -
