While the author was on a business trip in Abidjan (Cote d'Ivoire) in September 2002, the military insurrection that partitioned the country into two with a de jure government in Abidjan and a de facto administration in Bouake took place. Mark witnessed the violence meted out by both factions to ordinary people, including women and children, and the horrors encountered by those fleeing from machine gunfire. The author was indelibly marked by what the quest for power and wealth by a few could do to the innocent, helpless, and vulnerable populations. He was appalled by the manifest hypocrisy of the international community in their handling of the conflict and the incendiary role that the local and international press played in the conflict. He felt compelled by the sights and sounds of war to document the conflict, and this book is the outcome of his daily painstaking records from group discussions, interviews, as well as local and international print and electronic news media.
