Mercy in Masquerade Department of Philosophy Gary Watson

A US president. Lost children. A relentless viral attack. Fate brings six Americans to Goma on Lake Kivu's north shore in central Africa-a landscape that churns under a seemingly demonic fog. They quickly find themselves drawn into the middle of an unimaginable humanitarian effort catalyzed by the connection of a lost Sudanese boy to a president. He lives as if trapped inside a box and she, as Commander in Chief, risks everything to open it. Based on actual events this story confronts a stark reality-not all human life is valued equally. For some there is a hierarchy. And those who believe otherwise and act on behalf of those unable or unwilling to do so, are something to behold. 100% of author royalties from the paperback sales of Gary Watson's three books go to the Elephant Crisis Fund set up by Wildlife Conservation Network and Save the Elephants. This innovative fund operates using a no-overhead model allowing 100% of all funds raised to go directly to the best, most urgent, and most innovative actions on the ground by organizations great and small to stop the killing of elephants throughout Africa.
