`Justin Pearce takes us on a gripping tour around war-shattered Angola. As he meets Angolans from all walks of life, he reveals the inadequacy of simplistic left-right explanations of Angolas tragedy and the complexity of a society fragmented by geography, resources, language and culture, as well as the insatiable ambitions of its politicians. This is a perceptive and at times deeply moving account
Tony Hodges, author of Angola: Anatomy of an oil state and Angola: Prospects for recovery.

From the stink of fear to the stench of sewage, Pearces book captures the authentic smells, sights and sounds of a disintegrating state nation. In this night-marish, poignant book, he dissects chaos with compassion, retaining a forensic eye for surreal detail and a merciless ability to expose official cant.
Michela Wrong, author of I didnt do it for you: How the world betrayed a small African nation.

`Justin Pearce is a tireless and gifted reporter who has sweated and struggled to reveal the true ghastliness of Angolas war and the workers-party-turned-millionaires party that won it. But at the same time, he holds out hope that this tortured countrys tenuous peace will hold.
Robert Guest, author and former Africa editor of The Economist.
