Africa's wars and prospects for peace

Meer over het boek

Copson heads the Africa section of the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. He says that the seemingly endemic wars in African countries are only exacerbated by the continent's continued poverty, but are ultimately due to the failure of governments to respond to the needs and demands of their people. He tallies the human cost, surveys national and international causes of specific conflicts, describes the changing nature of the warfare, and suggests how the international community might help.
