The Devil Came on Horseback: Bearing Witness to the Genocide in Darfur Audiobook

" A 5. not the best written book but the information therein is highly valuable "

" Now I'm just depressed. Are these people just insane? "

" Terribly written...he is a marine, not a writer. But, provides an interesting perspective from someone who witnessed Darfur first-hand. "

" It's clear that Brian Steidle is more schooled in military operations than in writing, but given that, this memoir is pretty compelling. I could definitely feel his frustration at not being able to do more to prevent the genocide he was instructed to witness. The world's indifference to what is going on in Darfur continues to alarm me...how is it that the U.S. is taking no significant action to protect the people of Darfur? "

" Heartbreaking. It is really hard to critique the writing of a book that opened my eyes to so much going on in the world. This was my first book on Darfur, and not my last. There is so much heartbreak in the book, but it compels you to follow the author and not turn your eyes away from the misery and his life changes. The book changed me. "

" Couldn't wait to finish this one. The only thing worse than a bad writer is a bad writer with a massive ego. But, I picked this one to learn some more about Darfur, which I guess I did. "

" Fantastic Book. Really sad though. It is shocking what happens in this world. "

" Totally worth reading to feel and understand the genocide in Darfur. "

" Definately a sobering read about the atrocities committed. "

" This was an engaging account about living though one of the most horrific acts of genocide the world has ever ignored. "

" First person accounts and not much connection to the politics, history, or any of the references I was hoping for. Two stars for effort. "

" Why do I read these types of book?! Oh yeah, because American news won't report on this kind of ongoing horror. A pretty gruesome and painful read but important. "

" I could have done without the endless reiteration of "awed Sudanese people meet their first whitey" scenes. That said, this book is important for the witness it bears to the horrors committed in Darfur. "

" Not an easy read but well worth reading. I recommend this particularly to anyone who doesn't know what's going on in Darfur. "
