"As the book progresses, the memoir predominates over the history
and makes for compelling, if horrifying reading ... This, then, is
a modern day Heart of Darkness".
TLS "When a full assessment comes to be written of the political
and human disasters that have befallen Liberia and Sierra Leone in
this decade, this account by Mark Huband will be one of the basic
texts......its stark descriptions do much to elucidate a tragedy
that will last a generation".

"The book by Mark Huband , a British journalist with the Financial
Times, is therefore important in helping to focus attention on
civil wars that are often ignored by the Western media. The book is
elegantly written and the author has an eye for detail and a gift
for vivid description, especially when describing the mundane
brutality of the civil war and his encounters with thre Liberian
warlords: Charles Taylor, Prince Johnson and Alhaji Kromath".
Africa World Review, Feb--July 2000
"Compelling reading. Those interested in the history of the NPFL
and the intrigues by rival dissidents to outsmart each other during
the war should definitely read this informative piece of work.
