Sweeney to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "God Grew Tired of Us"Browse more products related to "John Bul Dau and Michael S. Sweeney"Publisher's noteThe harrowing consequences and horrors of the Sudanese civil war come to life in an inspirational, eyewitness account that describes one man's experiences, from the terror and violence of his homeland, to his tortuous escape, to the culture shock he experienced as he struggled to adjust to a new life in America. Reprint. 17,500 first printing. AnnotationJohn Bul Dau shares his first-hand account of the torturous trials he endured as one of the "Lost Boys" of Sudan, refugees from the civil war there who were forced to wander the desert for years, with brief respites spent at decrepit camps. What sets Bul Dau's story apart from the recent slew of similar memoirs and novels is that, at the age of 13, he was among the older of the Lost Boys, and was thus thrust into a position of leadership. At a stage of life when more fortunate people are agonizing over pimples and puberty, Bul Dau was trying to guide hundreds of terrified, lonely children through a treacherous, desiccated landscape, threatened at every step by wild animals, enemy soldiers, and disease. Another unique aspect of his tale is the relatively happy ending--he was eventually reunited with several family members that he was certain had been killed in the violence.
