2.Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern WarBlack Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
Bowden has written a masterful account of the Black Hawk Down tragedy which became a famous Tony Scott movie. The scene is grim: Mogadishu under the warlords with an inept, incompetent United Nations force presuming that it will separate the warring factions and restore peace. The United States... more info

3.The Road to Hell: The Ravaging Effects of Foreign Aid and International CharityThe Road to Hell: The Ravaging Effects of Foreign Aid and International Charity
from Free Press
Price: $24.25

Customer Review:
The Road To Hell has a simple and precise theme: "Blood and guts ... attracting the great whites (sharks) to the warm unprotected shore...". Foreign Aid and International Charity Money will attract more and more "sharks" and hurt those "warm unprotected people". This book is a great read for all... more info

4.Surrender or Starve: Travels in Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, and EritreaSurrender or Starve: Travels in Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea
from Vintage
Price: $11.86

Customer Review:
Surrender or Starve is a solid book that deserves reading, especially if you knew nothing of the Ethiopian/Eritrean conflict. When I was young, I distinctly recall images of the famine in Ethiopia, calls to action from within the United States but, like Kaplan emphasizes, the West did not appreciate... more info

I was fascinated by this book. It was very engaging, informative, moving, and realistic.

7.Somalia: Economy Without State (African Issues)Somalia: Economy Without State (African Issues)
from Indiana University Press
Price: $20.65

Customer Review:

This book has a lot of detail on the Somalia economy
but most of it is from the 1980's and 1990's.
Although it has a lot of detail I felt
it was not organized in a way that
I was getting the big picture.

8.The Farther ShoreThe Farther Shore
from Milkweed Editions
Price: $14.96

Customer Review:
Thanks for writing this story. It can't have been easy, and it wasn't easy to read. I couldn't stop reading, though. Great writing, deeply felt and very real- I'm a vet, too.
I felt so cold reading the story I turned the heater up, until the kid complained he was boiling- but I'm still cold.... more info

10.Me Against My Brother: At War in Somalia, Sudan and RwandaMe Against My Brother: At War in Somalia, Sudan and Rwanda
from Routledge
Price: $25.15

Customer Review:
Peterson's story sure is not an easy read. He details the devastation of war and famine--much of it man made--in Somalia, Sudan and Rwanda, and relates it to ethnic/cultural/clan/religious rivalries that westerners hardly understand, yet get in the middle of it to provide relief. Not a happy story... more info
