Into this desolate theater come aid workers, missionaries, and mercenaries of conscience whose courage and idealism sometimes coexist with treacherous moral blindness. There's the entrepreneurial American pilot who goes from flying food and medicine to smuggling arms, the Kenyan aid worker who can't help seeing the tawdry underside of his enterprise, and the evangelical Christian who comes to Sudan to redeem slaves and falls in love with a charismatic rebel commander. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs their fates intersect and our understanding of their characters deepens, it becomes apparent that \u003ci\u003eActs of Faith\u003c\/i\u003e is one of those rare novels that combine high moral seriousness with irresistible narrative wizardry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Caputo worked for nine years for the \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune \u003c\/i\u003eand shared a Pulitzer Prize in 1972 for his reporting on election fraud in Chicago.
