The Devil Came on Horseback is an intense, vivid autobiographical report from the heart of violent Darfur and a call to action by a former American Marine who became a military observer for the African Union. The first extensive on-the-ground account of the genocide in Sudan, it leads us through the tragic impact of an Arab government bent on destroying its black African citizens and the frustrating complexity of international inaction.

What was most disappointing about Brian Steidle and Gretchen Steidle Wallace ’s story?
I am still reading through it and i will update this when I finish.
The narration of incidents might be correct. I KNOW for sure that at least some of the atrocities he described has really happened. However, I disagree with most of his comments and explanations of the same incidents.
For example when he is talking about the "wealthy" army generals he forgets that we are talking about a country whose budget is far less than Manchester United's.
He then talks about the Islamist arabic northern backed government, while everyone in the country is oppressed by that government. Including the Arabs of the North.
Although I can't question the accuracy of the events, I think the writer didn't understand the Sudanese society/culture at all.
