After ten years of reporting from central Africa forThe New York Times, Associated Press and others, award-winning journalist Anjan Sundaram finds himself living a quiet life in Shippagan, Canada, with his wife and new-born. But when word arrives of preparations for a genocide in the Central African Republic, he is suddenly torn between his duty as a husband and father, and his moral responsibility to report on a conflict unseen by the world.Soon he is traveling through the CAR, with a driver who may be a spy, bearing witness to ransacked villages and locals fleeing imminent massacre, fielding offers of mined gold and hearing stories of soldiers who steal schoolbooks for cigarette paper. When he refuses to return home, journeying instead into a rebel stronghold, he learns that there is no going back to the life he left behind.Breakupilluminates the personal price that war correspondents pay as they bear witness on the frontlines of humanitarian crimes across the world. This brilliantly introspective, grounded account of one mans inner turmoil in the context of a dangerous journey through a warzone is sure to become a modern classic.
