The Translator : A Tribesman’s Memoir Of Darfur

  • The Translator : A Tribesman's Memoir Of Darfur

  • Attribution

    Daoud Hari, as told to Dennis Michael Burke and Megan M. McKenna

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2008

  • Description

    I am the translator who has taken journalists into dangerous Darfur. Hari, a Zaghawa tribesman, grew up in a village in the Darfur region of Sudan. In 2003, this traditional life was shattered when helicopter gunships appeared over Darfur?s villages, followed by Sudanese-government-backed militia groups attacking on horseback, raping and murdering citizens and burning villages. In doing so, he risked his life again and again, for the government of Sudan had outlawed journalists in the region, and death was the punishment for those who aided the ?foreign spies.?

  • The First Jihad : The Battle For Khartoum And The Dawn Of Militant Islam

  • Attribution

    Daniel Allen Butler

  • Publication Details

    Book, Casemate, 2007

  • Description

    Before there was Osama bin Laden, Abu al-Zarqawi or Ayatollah Khomeini, there was the Mahdi-the “Expected One”-who raised the Arabs in pan-tribal revolt against infidels and apostates in the late 19th-century Sudan. In an epic contest pitting military innovation and discipline against religious fervor, the Mahdi and Gordon dueled throughout 1884, while the British government hesitated to send relief. In today’s world the Mahdi’s words have been repeated almost verbatim by the Muslim jihadists who have attacked New York, Washington, Madrid and London, and continue to wage war from the Hindu Kush to the Mediterranean. Along with Saladin, who once defeated a holy war, the Mahdi stands as an Islamic icon who once launched his own successful crusade against the West. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
