Modern day peace and war in South Sudan - the story of five individuals caught up in the conflict between North and South and their different ways of resisting and seeking justice for their people; at times tragic, heroic and gripping, presenting real life and death encounters in Africa and what it means to rebel against a well-armed opposition. This is a solid contribution to the history of the country and especially the people of Abyei who live in close contact with the Arabic North. In the words of the author, a modest tribute to these outstanding individuals and to war heroes in general, both from the Ngok Dinka of Abyei and their comrades-in-arms in South Sudan and the wider New Sudan without discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnicity, religion and culture.
