The birth of South Sudan was celebrated the world round. But the celebration would not last: South Sudan's freedom-fighters soon plunged their new nation back into chaos, shattering the promise of liberation and exposing the hubris of their American backers. Drawing on extraordinary personal stories of identity, liberation, and survival, this narrative tells an epic story of paradise won and then lost. Zach Vertin's firsthand accounts, from deadly war zones to the halls of Washington power, bring listeners on an extraordinary journey into the rise and fall of the world's newest state.

Fascinating Book

The author transports the reader from the streets of South Sudan to the hallways of Congress with compelling insight. The book is wonderful on many levels but, importantly, helps all of us better understand the value of thoughtful diplomacy and the cost of thoughtless actions on the international stage. To the author one can only say “Oyee” with the hope his good work and great writing continues.
