Focusing on warfare in Africa since 1950, the text explores two themes: that in North Africa warfare has been a matter of identity and that south of the Sahara is comparable with that of pre-colonial Africa.

Recenzje

'Few of us, myself included, know much about war itself: Clayton does...there can be few better qualified than him for the grisly task,' - African Affairs

'A comprehensive and timely overview of warfare in Africa from 1950 to the present day ... the meticulously accurate appendices are clearly set out and combine to form a mini encyclopedic dictionary: from that perspective alone the volume is a tool worth having.' - The World Today
