Fri Sep. 2, 2005 10:56 AM PDT

The review serves as a good summary of the conflict, whose complexity has too often served as a barrier for action. (To read what some students have accomplished, check out this Mother Jones interview with Darfur activist Nate Wright.) The world has a duty to read up—and act up—before even more die.
