It's Our Turn to Eat by Michela Wrong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Terrific book. By now I have a real soft spot for Michela Wrong so I'll probably like anything she ever writes again, even if that's a turgid write-up of all the Chinese meals she's ever had. It's Our Turn to Eat is, to borrow an over-used term from the literary "cognoscenti", a very important book. For anyone not convinced (how could you not be?) of the deleterious effects of corruption and tribal / ethnic loyalty (as against loyalty to principles or ideas), this is a must-read.
