First Paragraph

This is a book about evil. Its setting is Africa. The characters are mostly African, with an American narrator and Americans in supporting roles. The time is the last decade of the twentieth century, post-Cold War. But the questions are timeless and universal: How do evil people operate? What accounts for their power? Why do people follow? 

- From The Graves Are Not Yet Full: Race, Tribe and Power in the Heart of Africa by Bill Berkeley
