Book Description
What Is the What is the story of Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee in war-ravaged southern Sudan who flees from his village in the mid-1980s and becomes one of the so-called Lost Boys. Valentino’s travels bring him in contact with enemy soldiers, with liberation rebels, with hyenas and lions, with disease and starvation, and with deadly murahaleen (militias on horseback)–the same sort who currently terrorize Darfur. Eventually Deng is resettled in the United States with almost 4000 other young Sudanese men, and a very different struggle begins. Based closely on true experiences, What Is the What is heartbreaking and arresting, filled with adventure, suspense, tragedy, and, finally, triumph.

Book Description
Sudan Days gives a grass roots picture of British colonial rule in Africa in the second quarter of the twentieth century. In 1926, at the age of twenty-three, the author was posted to the Sudan, which was then an Anglo-Egyptian condominium, administered jointly by Britain and Egypt. Over the next 25 years, he rose through the ranks to become Governor of Bahr al-Ghazal, the province in the far south-west, and he grew to love the local tribes, who went about (as he put it) ‘starko’ and fought each other with spears and sticks. He himself moved freely among them, trekking on his camel, George, as he visited Government outposts, police stations and so on, apparently impervious to the pulverising heat, which was often 40°C in the shade. He describes many extraordinary scenes, not least that of watching Dinka tribesmen enlist the help of hippos in their fishing. In the 1950s, however, he became disillusioned by international plans to create a single state when the country achieved independence, believing that South Sudan should have special status – which it did not achieve until 2011 – and in 1953 he resigned. He wrote these reminiscences during the 1960s, but they have remained unpublished until now – perhaps because he was so disappointed at seeing all the work the British had done thrown away, and the Sudan descend into a maelstrom of revolution and war. Sudan Days will appeal to those with an interest in Sudanese history, and the way in which the country was shaped by colonial influence in the 1920s-1950s.

Book Description
Many stories have been told about the famous Lost Boys, but now for the first time, a Lost Girl shares her hauntingly beautiful and inspiring story. One of the first unaccompanied refugee children to enter the United States in 2000, after South Sudan's second civil war took the lives of most of her family, Rebecca's story begins in the late 1980s when, at the age of four, her village was attacked and she had to escape. WHAT THEY MEANT FOR EVIL is the account of that unimaginable journey. With the candor and purity of a child, Rebecca recalls how she endured fleeing from gunfire, suffering through hunger and strength-sapping illnesses, dodging life-threatening predators-lions, snakes, crocodiles, and soldiers alike-that dogged her footsteps, and grappling with a war that stole her childhood. Her story is a lyrical, captivating portrait of a child hurled into wartime, and how through divine intervention, she came to America and found a new life full of joy, hope, and redemption.
