520    The birth of South Sudan was celebrated the world round-a 
       triumph for global justice and the end of one of the 
       world's most devastating wars. The Republic's historic 
       independence was acclaimed not only by its long-oppressed 
       people but also by three U.S. presidents and the legions 
       of Americans who championed their cause. But the 
       celebration would not last: South Sudan's freedom-fighters
       soon plunged their new nation back into chaos, shattering 
       the promise of liberation and exposing the hubris of their
       American backers. Drawing on extraordinary personal 
       stories of identity, liberation, and survival, this 
       narrative tells an epic story of paradise won and then 
       lost. Zach Vertin's firsthand accounts from deadly war 
       zones to the halls of Washington power bring listeners on 
       an extraordinary journey into the rise and fall of the 
       world's newest state. South Sudan's untold story is a 
       unique episode in global history-an unprecedented 
       experiment in international state-building-and a 
       cautionary tale. A Rope from the Sky is propelled by 
       characters both inspired and ordinary-their aspirations 
       are matched by insecurities, their sins by courage and 
       kindness. It is first a story of hope, power, greed, 
       compassion, and conscience-shocking violence from the 
       world's most neglected patch of territory. But it is also 
       a story about the best and worst of America: both our big-
       hearted ideals and our difficult reckoning with the limits
       of American power amid a world in disarray.
