Byron Conner’s The Face of Hunger is a haunting memoir that features Ethiopia’s dark moments.

The Great Famine of Ethiopia is one of the most infamous tragedies to hit a country in recent history. The crisis gripped the African nation from 1983-1985 and affected millions of people, with around 8 million casualties. The massive hunger and poverty of Ethiopia is the subject of Dr. Byron Conner’s memoir, The Face of Hunger: Reflections on a Famine in Ethiopia. Today, ReadersMagnet Review takes another look at this haunting narrative of a people’s tragedy and how one man and his family responded to the call of medical service and missionary work.
