What is the What By Dave Eggers

I read an excellent book (a while ago) about a Sudanese man's life during the Sudanese war. It is an amazing account of his escape from his burning village as a young boy, his life in a permanent refugee camp in Kenya, and then his re-settlement in the U.S. It is really a very inspiring and eye-opening story. I am amazed at the human spirit, how much suffering it can take and still bounce back strong.

All proceeds from the book go to his organization that is now building a school in his village in Sudan : http://www.valentinoachakdeng.org/
