About the Book

The Devil Came on Horsebackis an intense, vivid autobiographical report from the heart of violent Darfur and a call to action by a former American marine who became a military observer for the African Union. The first extensive on-the-ground account of the genocide in Sudan, itleads us through the tragic impact of an Arab government bent on destroying its black African citizens and the frustrating complexity of international inaction. At the same time, it is a powerful memoir of one soldier's awakening to conscience and his awkward, heroic transformation from marine to humanitarian. While bearing witness to unmentionable atrocities, this compelling story offers evidence that the actions of just one committed person have the power to transform the world.

About the Author :
Brian Steidle, a former captain in the Marine Corps, worked for the African Union in Darfur. He has made several return trips to Africa and now gives lectures about Darfur across the country. He lives in Los Angeles. Jeff Cummings, as an audiobook narrator, has won both an Earphones Award and the prestigious Audie Award in 2015 for Best Narration in Science and Technology. He is also a twenty-year veteran of the stage, having worked at many regional theaters across the country, from A Contemporary Theatre in Seattle and the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta to the Utah Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City and the International Mystery Writers' Festival in Owensboro, Kentucky. He also spent seven seasons with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Review :
"The Devil Came on Horseback grabs the reader from page one, then takes us on a journey of Conradian intensity through a circle of hell, its horrors mitigated by moments of humanity...In every sense, the devil is indeed in the details." -- "Karl. E. Meyer, former editor, World Policy Journal" "[A] vivid, compelling account...If you are at all concerned about your fellow man, The Devil Came on Horseback is not only a haunting must read; it is a call to action." -- "David Freed, Los Angeles Times reporter" "The horrifying memoir...grips you in the horrors of genocide and international inaction...recommended for all libraries interested in current affairs or African history." -- "Library Journal (starred review)" "Echoing Steidle's personal narrative, Jeff Cummings' voice moves from naïve hope that something can be accomplished to anger at the senseless slaughter and surprise at its political complexity." -- "AudioFile" "In ever-rising tones, Cummings conveys Steidle's developing incredulity, frustration, horror and impotence." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Steidle's personal and fluent account effectively channels an idealistic, adventuresome young man's growing frustration and horror in the face of ongoing crimes against humanity and international complacency." -- "Publishers Weekly"
