The former head of the United Nations in Sudan reveals for the first time the shocking depths of evil plumbed by those in Khartoum who designed and orchestrated 'the final solution in Darfur' Against A Tide of Evil How One Man Became the Whistleblower to the First Mass Murder of the Twenty-First Century By Dr. Mukesh Kapila When darkness stalked the plains of Africa one man stood alone to face the evil . . .

A compelling read, very difficult to put down once started. I know both the author and the topic personally, but I still learned a lot from this. I was aware of the broad strokes, but this book fills in a lot of detail about the Darfur conflict itself and the manner in which it was brought to international prominence. The author shares his own inner struggle as he moves from being one of the good men who does nothing to being a whistle-blower against UN and international inaction which borders on collusion. ( )
