《星期日电讯报》：随着书的进展，回忆录主宰了历史，成为令人信服的、尽管令人恐惧的读物……那么，这就是现代的《黑暗之心》。TLS“当对这十年来降临在利比里亚和塞拉利昂的政治和人类灾难进行全面评估时，马克·胡班德的这一描述将成为基本文本之一……它的严酷描述在很大程度上有助于阐明一场将持续一代人的悲剧”。在非洲中心书评亚马逊书店接受马克·胡班德的采访“..感谢您在一本吸引力如此有限的书上冒险...”《国际事务》--圣安东尼《S学院，牛津大学》这本由英国《金融时报》记者马克·胡班德撰写的书，对于帮助人们将注意力集中在经常被西方媒体忽视的内战上，具有重要意义。这本书写得很优雅，作者善于细节，善于生动地描述，特别是在描述内战的世俗暴行以及他与三位利比里亚军阀：查尔斯·泰勒、约翰逊王子和阿尔哈吉·克劳斯的遭遇时。《非洲世界评论》，2000年2月-7月。那些对NPFL的历史感兴趣的人，以及敌对的持不同政见者在战争期间相互智取的阴谋，绝对应该阅读这部内容翔实的作品。
Sunday Telegraph "As the book progresses, the memoir predominates over the history and makes for compelling, if horrifying reading ... This, then, is a modern day Heart of Darkness". TLS "When a full assessment comes to be written of the political and human disasters that have befallen Liberia and Sierra Leone in this decade, this account by Mark Huband will be one of the basic texts...its stark descriptions do much to elucidate a tragedy that will last a generation". Interview with Mark Huband in African Centre Book Review Amazon Bookshop "..thank you for taking the risk on a book with such limited appeal.." INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS - reviewed by Adekeye Adebajo, St Anthony"s College, Uni of Oxford "The book by Mark Huband , a British journalist with the Financial Times, is therefore important in helping to focus attention on civil wars that are often ignored by the Western media. The book is elegantly written and the author has an eye for detail and a gift for vivid description, especially when describing the mundane brutality of the civil war and his encounters with thre Liberian warlords: Charles Taylor, Prince Johnson and Alhaji Kromath". Africa World Review, Feb--July 2000 "Compelling reading. Those interested in the history of the NPFL and the intrigues by rival dissidents to outsmart each other during the war should definitely read this informative piece of work.
