Refugees in Darfur, Sudan (Concern Worldwide)Searching for Refuge
Mark von Sponeck, who has just returned from a refugee camp on the Sudanese border, and Musa Hassan who witnessed atrocities committed by the Janjaweed throughout his life in Sudan, join us with an update on the region. In Adams vs. Jefferson, John Ferling investigates the political and constitutional battles that rocked the pivotal presidential election of 1800. Historian Antony Beevor delves into the intriguing life of Olga Chekova—the granddaughter of Anton Chekov, a silent film star in Germany, and a woman of stature in the Nazi party who some think was actually acting as a Russian spy—in his latest book, The Mystery of Olga Chekova. And Journalist Jennifer Beth Cohen recounts her professional and personal experiences in Russia in the late 1990s in her memoir Lying Together: My Russian Affair.
