The Enough Moment: Fighting to End Africa's Worst Human Rights Crimes by John Prendergast, Don Cheadle
3.0
If you are looking for a book of statistics and information and history specifically about the wars that have been currently going on in Africa, this is not the book for you. I think that is what I was hoping for a little bit, honestly.
This book is mainly about how in learning information about the goings-on of the wars in Africa, when will we be willing to say, "Enough is enough!" When would we be willing to see a change or a stop to these wars that are murdering and destroying the lives of thousands of families and people?
Basically, John Prendergast and Don Cheadle converse a bit together throughout the book and they also write some accounts of people who have survived the atrocities of war in Africa and who are doing something to bring a chance in their own communities in Africa, those who have been effected by learning about the wars that they are actually doing something to bring change in America or the countries they live in outside of Africa as well. There are some interviews with a bunch of famous people and I think there was more of that then the other stuff, which I wanted more of the other stuff when reading these accounts. There were some great stories mentioned by these stars though.
There was a lot of talk about violent acts done to people, so be prepared to "hear" horrific things while reading this.
