South Sudan is the world's youngest independent country. This book provides a general history of the new country.

Recenzje

'This is an important book because it provides a new look at how South Sudan emerged as political and administrative entity and why it separated from Sudan. It will be of interest to students of history at universities and may be one of the important history reference books of the new country.' Luka Kuol, Director, Centre for Peace and Development Studies, University of Juba, South Sudan
