Catalog Main :: Civil Rights :: Darfur Product 2/5 Darfur The Long Road to Disaster Updated 2008 Edition by J. Millard Burr, Robert O. Collins Images of the genocide in Darfur have shocked the Western world: Upwards of 300,000 of its inhabitants have died, and another 2.5 million have become refugees. Those affected by the violence are estimated at almost 4 million, 700,000 of whom are now beyond the reach of humanitarian assistance. These are staggering numbers, and the fractious insurgent groups involved— Islamist Arab tribal militias against Christian black Africans and other militias made up of deserters of the Chad Army—were and still are supported to kill, rob, and terrorize by the governments of the neighboring states of the Sudan, Chad, and Libya. . "Burr and Collins' account constitutes an excellent history of the region's politics, providing many useful insights into the current conflict." --Foreign Affairs "In Darfur; The Long Road to Disaster, Burr and Collins have updated their original 1999 volume with additional chapters. The new title is not a publisher's gimmick: this is indeed the prehistory of Darfur's tragedy, and it is essential, if difficult, reading for any serious student of the crisis....Not only does it provide an account of a history indispensable for understanding Darfur, but it is a salutary reminder of hos intractable conflicts in the Chad basin can be."--African Studies Review (April 07) Please Choose: Hardcover ($89.95)Paperback ($28.95)   Add to Cart: Hardcover Info: ISBN 10 digit: 1-55876-469-0 ISBN 13 digit: 978-1-55876-469-9 390pp $89.95 Paperback Info: ISBN 10 digit: 1-55876-470-4 ISBN 13 digit: 978-1-55876-470-5 390pp $28.95 Outstanding Academic Book of the Year 2008 Award --Choice Magazine Read Reviews for Darfur View Table of Contents About Robert O.
