Customer Review:

1: Facinating and Well Written I've never had any interest in writing a review before, but I felt compelled after reading Mr. Gberie's book. It is thorough and detailed but not overly 'academic'. I think part of what makes it stand out so much is the authors background and personal involvement in the story. He shows how the world was fooled by their pre-conceived notions about 'typical African conflicts' and by the statements of the rebels themselves. By examining the actual facts on the ground and the actions of the rebels he proves that their only motivation for existence was monetary gain. This had a profound effect on the multiple peace negotiations, which many times only made the confict worse. He traces back all of the atrocities that we associate with the RUF war and shows how human beings like you and I were coerced into carrying them out. I've traveled to Sierra Leone and the region several times but until I read this book I never felt like I really comprehended how such atrocities could occur. I think a good complement to this book would be Blood Diamonds by Greg Campbell. Although Mr. Gberie covers some of the ways that diamonds were used to fund the war, Mr. Campbell was able to provide even more detail.
