What to expect
The Devil Came on Horsebackis an intense, vivid autobiographical report from the heart of violent Darfur and a call to action by a former American marine who became a military observer for the African Union. The first extensive on-the-ground account of the genocide in Sudan, itleads us through the tragic impact of an Arab government bent on destroying its black African citizens and the frustrating complexity of international inaction. At the same time, it is a powerful memoir of one soldier's awakening to conscience and his awkward, heroic transformation from marine to humanitarian. While bearing witness to unmentionable atrocities, this compelling story offers evidence that the actions of just one committed person have the power to transform the world.
Critics Review
“[A] vivid, compelling account…If you are at all concerned about your fellow man, The Devil Came on Horseback is not only a haunting must read; it is a call to action.”
“The Devil Came on Horseback grabs the reader from page one, then takes us on a journey of Conradian intensity through a circle of hell, its horrors mitigated by moments of humanity…In every sense, the devil is indeed in the details.”
“Steidle’s personal and fluent account effectively channels an idealistic, adventuresome young man’s growing frustration and horror in the face of ongoing crimes against humanity and international complacency.”
“In ever-rising tones, Cummings conveys Steidle’s developing incredulity, frustration, horror and impotence.”
“The horrifying memoir…grips you in the horrors of genocide and international inaction…recommended for all libraries interested in current affairs or African history.”
“Echoing Steidle’s personal narrative, Jeff Cummings’ voice moves from naïve hope that something can be accomplished to anger at the senseless slaughter and surprise at its political complexity.”
