- from
- Ethiopia,
- four
- Westerners
- travel
- under

- through
- a
- land
- of
- savage
- beauty
- and
- bitter
- drought
- towards
- the
- ancient
- capital
- of
- Asmara.
- Each
- is
- on
- a
- personal
- mission,
- all
- are
- irrevocably
- changed
- as
- they
- bear
- witness
- to
- the
- devastation
- of
- war
- as
- well
- as
- to
- the
- Eritreans'
- courage

- face
- of
- constant attack.
