Sudan is one of the great humanitarian tragedies of our time, and a blot on the record of liberal democracies for their inability to stop the murder and forced starvation of millions. Sudan's Killing Fields brings together the foremost scholars and policy analysts working n the Sudanese crisis, to provide a sweeping and thorough analysis of the violence and its origins.

Sudan's Killing Fields is one of the most comprehensive books to be published on the current political situation in Sudan, which, for all the international furor, is still very poorly understood. Sudan's Killing Fields is well-positioned to become the definitive resource for people trying to stop one of the worst genocides in modern memory.
