Two harrowing works of nonfiction are available this week.
In “The Translator: A Tribesman’s Memoir of Darfur,” Daoud Hari takes the readers where he has taken journalists — behind the scenes in a country where a war between rebels and government-backed militia has led to the deaths of 200,000 people since 2003, as well as the displacement of 2.5 million people.
In “Not My Turn To Die: Memoirs of a Broken Childhood in Bosnia,” author Savo Heleta takes us to another hot spot, where his Muslim village was destroyed and he endured a “two-year nightmare of living with terror, starvation, and humiliation.” But it ends in a better place, as Heleta goes from an angry young man to a person able to forgive and move on with life.
