What does it take to become a nation?
For the people of South Sudan, the answer was decades of unimaginable sacrifice, fierce resistance, and unwavering hope. If you’ve ever wondered what fuels a modern independence movement, how identity is forged through adversity, or why South Sudan holds one of the most complex and powerful stories in African history, this book is your essential guide.
