""These catastrophes are not as senseless as they seem," writes journalist Bill Berkeley in his searching investigation of ethnic conflicts in that part of the world, Africa, where they have been most destructive by far. "They are not inevitable products of primordial, immutable hatreds. There is method in the madness."".
"Drawing on more than a decade of reporting in East, West, Central and Southern Africa, Berkeley demystifies the "Dark Continent" taking us beyond the victims and introducing us, through his own personal encounters, to some of the perpetrators, the Big Men and their acolytes, "whose interests and machinations and evasions of responsibility might help explain the suffering of so many below."".
"The Graves Are Not Yet Full reveals how Africa's ruinous conflicts are a product not of age-old hatreds but of calculated tyranny.
Berkeley, through a combination of keen reporting and insightful historical analysis, has written an indispensable book for those who are alarmed and bewildered by Africa's conflicts and the terrible price they have extracted. "I point the finger at tyranny not so much to condemn as to describe," Berkeley writes, "to scrutinize, to break it down into its component parts and see how they work.
Justice here is not only an answer to tyranny but a window on it; I qualify not as a prosecutor but as a witness." With exact and haunting precision, The Graves Are Not Yet Full tells an important story about Africa, those who have exploited it - and ourselves."--BOOK JACKET.
