From the Kraal to the Cathedral
The memoir of Daniel Deng Bul Yak, fourth Episcopal Archbishop of Sudan and South Sudan. Born into a nation at war, Archbishop Deng, as primate of the Episcopal Church, has relentlessly pursued peace and reconciliation through decades of civil war, famine, and political conflict. Often risking his life, he has tirelessly called for accountability on the part of political and military leaders and has labored to make it possible for the people of South Sudan to take the lead in determining their own future as citizens of the world's newest nation.
Journeys Across the Invisible Bridge
This book provides an account of the journeys of Francis M. Deng's ideas, grounded in Dinka values, and extended to inter-communal, national, and global levels. Deng has developed his ideas through global United Nations mandates on the human rights of displaced people and the prevention of genocide. However, their origins can be traced down through his contribution to the vision of a "New Sudan," and deeper to more local roots, in his homeland of Abyei, where he tries to reconcile the paradox of his area as both a gulf and a bridge between the two Sudans.

South Sudan
South Sudan: The State We Aspire To was conceived and written mid-2009, two years before the conduct of the referendum on self-determination.

God's Diplomats
[God’s Diplomats is] a mix of impartial description and informed opinion. Not everyone will agree with how different issues are framed, or how different figures are portrayed. But what certainly cannot be argued with is the fact that Gaetan has given a gift not only to foreign policy practitioners, but also to American Catholics. You will not find a book on Church diplomacy as accessible, comprehensive, and faithful, as God’s Diplomats. It is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the Vatican’s diplomatic priorities better — and especially why they don’t always align with America’s. ― National Catholic Register Using inside sources and extensive field reporting about the secretive, high-stakes world of international diplomacy, Vatican reporter Victor Gaetan takes readers to the Holy See to explicate Pope Francis's diplomacy, show why it works, and to offer readers a startling contrast to the dangerous inadequacies of recent U.S. international decisions.
