Darfur is a region set apart: huge, remote, and povertystricken. Its people are today locked in conflict, terrorized bythe lawless Arab militia known as janjawid, which has created whatthe United Nations has called 'the world's worst humanitariandisaster'. As M. W. Daly, distinguished historian and long-termobserver of the Sudan, explains, the roots of the crisis lie deepin Darfur's past. Tracing the story to the origins of the Fur statein the seventeenth century, through imperial expansion, revolution,and finally Darfur's annexation by the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, heshows how years of neglect left the region unprepared forindependence.

This is a complex and oftenharrowing story, told with compassion, insight, and a strong senseof place.
