Only Man Is Vile: The Tragedy of Sri Lanka, by William McGowan
A work of scholarly journalism, foreign correspondence and political travelogue, Only Man Is Vile examines Sri Lanka's long civil war, with an emphasis on the historical toxicity and the complicated ethnic power struggle behind it. 'It is one of the best books ever written on nationalistic, racial and religious conflict...a great, impressive and sound book.' wrote Ryszard Kapuscinski, author of Shah of Shahs, The Emperor, and Another Day of Life. Pubishers Weekly (starred review) called it: 'A gripping, first-rate mixture of travelogue, history and hard-edged reporting. ...McGowan's memorable prose captures the noise, passions and violence of a country that seems bent on destroying itself.' Said the Wall Street Journal: 'Mr. McGowan has a gift for literary travel writing in the Graham Greene tradition.'
