Summary:

Few people, even those generally conversant with genocide studies, are cognizant of the Government of Sudan's genocidal attack, in the form of forced starvation, against the people of the Nuba Mountains in the late 1980s and early 1990s, according to the author (an independent researcher), who here presents interviews with victims of the "genocide by attrition" in an effort to draw attention to the events in the Nuba Mountains and to demonstrate their scope. He also includes a historical overview providing context for the interviews and an afterword reflecting on the international political and legal ramifications of the events.
