Description

When George Clooney decides to embark on a humanitarian mission to the frontlines of a deadly war in Sudan, it would normally take months of meticulous coordination to keep an A-list celebrity safe in a conflict zone. Unfortunately, Matt Brown only had four days to plan the trip with Clooney. Drawing on a decade of experience navigating African war zones as a journalist and aid worker, Brown planned and led several trips to Sudan with Clooney to raise awareness for the human rights atrocities committed there. Many people are aware that Clooney has been a longtime advocate for peace in Darfur and South Sudan, but the fascinating backstory has never been told, until now. Star’s War: George Clooney on the Frontlines of a Deadly African Conflict is an intimate portrait of the world’s most recognizable movie star in dangerous and hostile territory, told as a memoir of Brown's time working as a celebrity fixer and guide. Sudan is no movie set. The dangers are very real and Clooney understands this, putting his life on the line in order to reflect his bright spotlight onto an intractable conflict in the hopes of raising awareness and bringing an end to the war. The book details several trips that Brown planned and led to Sudan for Clooney. In their journeys, they met Jimmy Carter and got drunk with John Kerry. They visited refugee camps, snuck across the border illegally and dodged a rocket attack. George got sick, he got arrested, and he got a little-known conflict into the national headlines and onto the president’s desk. The book also explores the history of celebrity activism, from Jane Fonda’s “Hanoi Jane” moment during the Vietnam War to Live Aid and “We Are the World” in the 1980s to the modern advocacy work of stars like Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Ryan Gosling and others. Longtime human rights activist John Prendergast has been astute at harnessing the power of celebrity activism for a good cause, especially raising awareness for human rights in Africa. Clooney and Prendergast took it a step further when they launched the Satellite Sentinel Project, which used satellites to spy on Sudan, documenting troop movements, attacks on civilian populations, mass graves and other evidence of human rights abuses. With exclusive photos and anecdotes of George Clooney on the frontlines of the war in Sudan, Star's War is the perfect book for Clooney fans, human rights advocates and armchair adventurers.
