<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"I am the translator who has taken journalists into dangerous Darfur. It is my intention now to take you there in this book, if you have the courage to come with me." "The Translator" is a suspenseful, harrowing, and deeply moving memoir of how one person has made a difference in a dangerous world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The young life of Daoud Hari-his friends call him David-has been one of bravery and mesmerizing adventure. <i>The Translator</i> is a suspenseful, harrowing, and deeply moving memoir of how one person has made a difference in the world, an on-the-ground account of one of the biggest stories of our time: the brutal genocide under way in Darfur. <p/>In 2003, Daoud Hari, a Zaghawa tribesman, was among the hundreds of thousands of villagers attacked and driven from their homes by Sudanese-government-backed militia groups. Though Hari's village was burned to the ground, his family decimated and dispersed, he himself escaped, eventually finding safety across the border. With his high school knowledge of languages, Hari offered his services as a translator and guide. In doing so, however, he had to return to the heart of darkness-and he has risked his life again and again to help ensure that the story of his people is told while there is still time to save them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Pure, candid and deeply moving."<br><b><i>-New York Post</i></b> <p/>"[<i>The Translator</i>] may be the biggest small book of this year, or any year.
