This book is an eye opener for anyone who is not aware of the genocide taking place in Darfur. Don Cheadle and John Prendergast are so honest and down-to-earth in their writing, and that is what makes this book, along with the power and emotion of the events taking place in Darfur, so moving and inspirational. They offer straight-forward, simple solutions that we can all be doing to help stop the genocide... I remember when I first learned about the Rwandan genocide, I was shocked that it had happened during my lifetime. To me, genocide was what happened during the Holocaust, and that was sixty years ago. I never thought it could happen today, but it has, and it is, and this book offers solutions to stop the genocide today and make sure it does not happen in the future.

Thanks for your thoughts on this book, I was wondering about it and I have read the two books you've mentioned so I will have to go and look for this book. Thanks!
I'm going to have to pick this one up. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it!
I've been looking foward to reading this, but there are four people ahead of me on the waiting list at the library. Glad it didn't disappoint.
