Reseñas de la Crítica
"Steidle's personal and fluent account effectively channels an idealistic, adventuresome young man's growing frustration and horror in the face of ongoing crimes against humanity and international complacency." (Publishers Weekly)
"The Devil Came on Horseback grabs the reader from page one, then takes us on a journey of Conradian intensity through a circle of hell, its horrors mitigated by moments of humanity....In every sense, the devil is indeed in the details." (Karl E. Meyer, Editor, World Policy Journal)
"Brian Steidle's vivid, compelling account of the on-going genocide in Darfur bears stark witness to the worst humanitarian crisis facing the world today....If you are at all concerned about your fellow man, The Devil Came on Horseback is not only a haunting must read; it is a call to action." (David Freed, Los Angeles Times)
I did not care for the narrator, who did nothing to improve the shallow and smug first person tone.

Jeff Cummings delivers the story exceptionally well. He first sounds young and naive, then as time goes on, he conveys frustration, sadness, disbelieve and revulsion at all appropriate time.

What was most disappointing about Brian Steidle and Gretchen Steidle Wallace ’s story?
I am still reading through it and i will update this when I finish.The narration of incidents might be correct. I KNOW for sure that at least some of the atrocities he described has really happened. However, I disagree with most of his comments and explanations of the same incidents.
For example when he is talking about the "wealthy" army generals he forgets that we are talking about a country whose budget is far less than Manchester United's.
He then talks about the Islamist arabic northern backed government, while everyone in the country is oppressed by that government. Including the Arabs of the North.
Although I can't question the accuracy of the events, I think the writer didn't understand the Sudanese society/culture at all.
A review from a local point of view

Brian Steidle is undoubtedly a very brave man, and by helping to bring the Darfur crisis to light in America, his actions are certainly commendable. Nonetheless, he still manages to come off as preachy. In coversations with his sister (and co-author), the two siblings make impassioned statements to one another, rather than talk. "Why won't the world listen?"
There is a lot to value in this book, not least that Steidle compiled the information at some risk to himself. I think this narrative would have been better presented as a long magazine article rather than a book.
Lackluster & Overlong
