I worked in an up-country hospital in Liberia in the 1970s, and returned for an extended visit in 1985. Many of my friends and acquaintances disappeared in this war; others managed to come to the U.S. I'm glad for this review, and I'm eager to read the book. If you haven't seen the documentary titled "Pray the Devil Back to Hell," it's well worth your time. It tells the story of the Liberian women, both Muslim and Christian, who joined forces to help put an end to the violence.
Wow. I was a senior in college in 1990, heading to med school, head down and unaware of the rest of the world. This is a great article on perspective. Thank you.
