Emma McCune was an idealistic young British aid worker who cut a striking figure as she drove around southern Sudan in a red mini skirt distributing pencils and blackboards to outdoor schools. In 1991, she stunned her fellow aid workers by suddenly marrying a Sudanese warlord who seemed to embody everything she was working against.
Award winning journalist Deborah Scroggins has just written a book about Emma's life and joins Jenni to talk about her fascination with Emma, a woman who crossed the line into a world she had intended to help, and about the fragile nature of aid work in the third world. 'Emma's War: Love, Betrayal and Death in the Sudan', Deborah Scroggins, Published 3 March 2003, HarperCollins, ISBN: 0002570270
