Description
James Fergusson takes us to the heart of the struggle in Somalia, a country ravaged by war and corruption. He meets everyone from politicians and pirates to aid workers and refugees, giving a unique account of life in this hard and often forgotten land.
As Somalia navigates a new phase in the global war on terror, Fergusson exposes the reality of life in this complex and often deadly place. With the Al Qaida-linked militants Al Shabaab on the rise, the country's future hangs in the balance.
This book is a gripping and thought-provoking account of a country at a crossroads, and the people who call it home.
