James Richard Bennett, in giving the novel a finalist award in the 2001 Peace Writing competition for COPRAD, says: [Flame Tree] "makes real the complications, terrors, and hopes of civil war and peacemaking in an Asian country."
Dr. Karen Lentz Clark, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR writes: "Flame Tree . . . has an incredible depth of knowledge about the politics, as well as the culture, of Thailand and Burma. More importantly, its author inspires the reader to find nonviolent answers to conflict. Dr. Keith Dahlberg does this by weaving the lives of two humanitarian volunteers with the lives of countless others who represent organizations working with the people of Southeast Asia. [Flame Tree] is both provoking and pacifistic . . . a significant text for anyone who is interested in making peace."
