Publisher's Synopsis
In 1975 Morocco invaded Western Sahara, what is now the last remaining colony in Africa, setting off a 16 year war with the inhabitants of that territory. This is the story of their struggle to regain their homeland, based on true events. It is a story of courage and sacrifice, of determination and perseverance. It is also a story of betrayal and the failure of the international community to abide by the lofty ideals it so easily espouses but so rarely puts into practice.
