Former U.S. Marine captain Brian Steidle went to Darfur, Sudan as an African Union military observer, armed with only a pen, paper, and a camera to document what he saw. His experiences are recounted in his memoir The Devil Came on Horseback: Bearing Witness to the Genocide in Darfur, as well as the documentary film of the same name made with producers and directors Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern.

The Devil Came on Horseback: Bearing Witness to the Genocide in Darfur is available for purchase at amazon.com.
