A 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 exposes how the South Sudanese state was
in crisis long before the outbreak of war. With insider knowledge of
the histories and motivations of the rebellion's chief protagonists,
Young argues considerable responsibility for the present state of
South Sudan must be laid at the door of the US-led peace process.
Linking the role of the international community with the country's
opposition politics, South Sudan's Civil War is an essential guide to
the causes and consequences of the violence that has engulfed one of
Africa's most troubled nations.
