{"product_id":"south-sudans-civil-war-john-young-9781786993755","title":"South Sudan's Civil War: Violence, Insurgency and Failed Peacemaking","description":"\u003cp\u003eA mere two years after achieving independence, South Sudan in 2013 descended into violent civil war, refuting US government claims that the country's succession was a major foreign policy success and would end endemic conflict. Worse was to follow when the international community declared famine in 2017. In the first book-length study of the South Sudan civil war, John Young draws on his close but critical relationship with the rebel SPLM-IO leadership to reveal the true dynamics of the conflict, and reveals how the South Sudanese state was in dire crisis long before its outbreak.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With unparalleled insider knowledge of the histories and motivations of the rebellion's chief protagonists, Young delves deeper into the crisis and argues that considerable responsibility for the present state of South Sudan must be laid at the door of the US-led peace process. Expertly linking the role of the international community with the country's opposition politics, \u003cem\u003eSouth Sudan's Civil War\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential guide to the causes and consequences of the violence that has engulfed one of Africa's most troubled nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786993759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786993755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"John Young","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45180316713215,"sku":"9781786993755","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_feccfbe6-93ea-4344-830c-e36453ae1f5c.jpg?v=1712897845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/south-sudans-civil-war-john-young-9781786993755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
