Description
Christians and Muslims fall upon one another in horrific killing sprees in this white-knuckle thriller about religious violence. This tale, based on true accounts of the religious violence that has erupted in the Maluku archipelago since 1999, explores the motives and effects of Islamic militancy as it clashes with a strong Christian community in a new era of religious conflict that afflicts the world today. Not to be missed, this book offers solutions that might save whole nations from a show more cycle of violence that threatens them every day. show lessTags

A story about clashes between Christians and Muslims on a small island in Indonesia. Based on true accounts from 1999.
While it is important that this story is told, it was only an OK book.
