Product Description

When South Sudan's war began, the Beatles were playing their first hits and reaching the moon was an astronaut's dream.Half a century later, with millions massacred in Africa's longest war, the continent's biggest country split in two.It was an extraordinary, unprecedented experiment. Many have fought, but South Sudan did the impossible, and won.This is the story of an epic fight for freedom. It is also the story of a nightmare. First Raise a Flag details one of the most dramatic failures in the history of international state-building.Three years after independence, South Sudan was lowest ranked in the list of failed states.War returned, worse than ever. Peter Martell has spent over a decade reporting from palaces and battlefields, meeting those who made a country like no other: warlords and spies, missionaries and mercenaries, guerrillas and gunrunners, freedom fighters and war crime fugitives, Hollywood stars and ex-slaves.Under his seasoned foreign correspondent's gaze, he weaves with passion and colour the lively history of the world's newest country.First Raise a Flag is a moving reflection on the meaning of nationalism, the power of hope and the endurance of the human spirit.
