Driven by her family`s devastating losses, Congolese expatriate Francisca Thelin embarks, with human rights activist Lisa J. Shannon, on a perilous journey back to her beloved homel&, now under the shadow of one of Africa`s most feared militias--Joseph Kony`s Lord`s Resistance Army. With gunmen camped at the edge of town, Francisca is forced to face a paralyzing clash between her life in America & her family`s rapidly evaporating world--and the reality that their rush to her family`s aid may backfire. Mama Koko & the Hundred Gunmen weaves Francisca`s journey with stories of the family`s harrowing encounters with gunmen & tales from their past to create a vivid, illuminating portrait of a place & its people. We hear of Mama Koko`s early life as a gap-toothed beauty plotting to escape her inevitable fate of wife & motherhood; of Papa Alexander`s empire of wives, each of whom he married because she cooked & cleaned & made good coffee; & of Francisca`s idyllic childhood, when she ran barefoot through the family`s coffee plantation gorging herself on mangoes & fish that ”were the size of small children.” Offering compelling testimony to the strength of the human spirit & the beauty of human connection in the darkest of times, Mama Koko & the Hundred Gunmen also explores what it means & requires to truly make a difference in an unjust & often violent world. ...

What is it in the operatic Italian psyche that allows-indeed, forgives, even applauds-Italy`s premier for conducting a lifestyle as decadent as a Fellini extravaganza, while organizing an ongoing string of questionable behaviors & politically incorrect gaffes not seen since the days of Nero?

Best-selling writer Beppe Severgnini, who by explaining America to Italians humorously immortalized American behavior in his book ” Ciao, America!, ” now trains his sights on his own countrymen. Through witty yet substantive anecdotes touching on Italy`s current political & economic climate, Severgnini decodes the Italian premier`s style & appeal, exploring his rise to power & creating a compulsively readable portrait of Italy today. ...
