Overview

This collection of first-person accounts chronicles the experiences of 13 humanitarian aid workers who travelled to Sudan to provide food, medical care and spiritual support to the besieged people of the Nuba Mountains. A diverse group of men and women of various ages, professions and religious beliefs, the essayists describe in detail the tragedies of the Civil War in South Sudan, their own close calls with death, and why they are committed to helping a group of people - Nuba civilians - little known by the rest of the world.
