Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma Dyke was raised to shoot straight and work hard on a farm in rural Michigan. When her best friend, Ruben, sets off to fight in the Civil War, Emma sees fit to join up too-especially since her father aims to marry her off to a much older man. Emma cuts her long auburn locks, chips her nails, binds her breasts, and ships off to war under the name Emon. Though she's familiar with the crudities of farm life and knows her way around a rifle, she is unprepared for the horrors of war. Inspired by a true story, Emma's War is a tale of compounded courage. On the battlefield, Emma must brave enemy rifles and cannons; off the battlefield, she must guard her secret lest she be expelled from the army and sent home. Though history books rarely sing their praises, there were hundreds of women like Emma who refused to stay home while their husbands, brothers, and sweethearts perished by the thousands. As Emma chases after Ruben and glory, she learns tough lessons about love and war-lessons she will never forget.

Download or read book Emma s War written by Deborah Scroggins and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2004-02-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tall, striking, and adventurous to a fault, young British relief worker Emma McCune came to Sudan determined to make a difference in a country decimated by the longest-running civil war in Africa. She became a near legend in the bullet-scarred, famine-ridden country, but her eventual marriage to a rebel warlord made international headlines—and spelled disastrous consequences for her ideals. Enriched by Deborah Scroggins’s firsthand experience as an award-winning journalist in Sudan, this unforgettable account of Emma McCune’s tragically short life also provides an up-close look at the volatile politics in the region. It’s a world where international aid fuels armies as well as the starving population, and where the northern-based Islamic government—with ties to Osama bin Laden—is locked in a war with the Christian and pagan south over religion, oil and slaves. Tying together these vastly disparate forces as well as Emma’s own role in the problems of the region, Emma’s War is at once a disturbing love story and a fascinating exploration of the moral quandaries behind humanitarian aid.
