Items related to In the Name of God
The descent of a peaceful village into the horrors of civil war: Khadra brings to life a conflict largely unknown to those in the English speaking world. Imagine becoming accustomed to terror on a daily basis. Imagine finding it normal to betray your neighbour. Imagine your worst fears being replaced by complacency, your natural compassion by cold indifference. IN THE NAME OF GOD illustrates the way evil c an become a part of everyday life. And it is the story of Algeria today.
The moving translation into English is by Linda Black.
