Although his tenure in office was relatively short, Sankara left an indelible mark on his country's history and development. An avowed Marxist, he outspokenly asserted his country's independence from France and other Western powers while at the same time seeking to build a genuine pan-African unity. Ernest Harsch traces Sankara's life from his student days to his recruitment into the military, early political awakening, and increasing dismay with his country's extreme poverty and political corruption. As he rose to higher leadership positions, he used those offices to mobilize people for change and to counter the influence of the old, corrupt elites. Sankara and his colleagues initiated economic and social policies that shifted away from dependence on foreign aid and toward a greater use of the country's own resources to build schools, health clinics, and public works. Although Sankara's sweeping vision and practical reforms won him admirers both in Burkina Faso and across Africa, a combination of domestic opposition groups and factions within his own government and the army finally led to his assassination in . This is the first English-language book to tell the story of Sankara's life and struggles, drawing on the author's extensive firsthand research and reporting on Burkina Faso, including interviews with the late leader. Decades after his death, Sankara remains an inspiration to young people throughout Africa for his integrity, idealism, and dedication to independence and self-determination.

The illustrations in this book are absolutely delightful. "Foreword This is a unique book, bringing together in a most attractive way our fynbos and Jane's personal experiences of growing it. While there are many excellently illustrated volumes that deal with the floristic richness of this, the smallest of the plant kingdoms on Earth, here in our hands is a guide to creating these jeweled assemblages in our garden. Sue's short, hoticultural text is clear and instructive, particularly for those who live within the coastal fynbos area. Jane has executed the colour plates with exquisite delicacy, and with a true artists eye to composition. Each species stands out clearly, and there is frequently the added touch of a butterfly, beetle, frog or gentle night adder to draw our attention to unity within the community. To further deepen our understanding of the natural history of these plants, each plate illustrates those species that are in flower each month of the year. This very helpful information together with the notes within and attached to each plate, adds wonderfully to the enjoyment that I know this significant contribution to the Flora capensis will bring. - Professor Brian Allanson" Please look at my other book listings as I am happy to combine postage should you wish to purchase more than one item. 10% discount will be given for orders of 5 or more books packaged and posted together.

WAUGH, Auberon; CRONJE, Suzanne. Biafra: Britain's Shame. London: Michael Joseph, 1969. First Edition. "This book not only seeks to portray the plight of a courageous fighting to preserve its independence, but is an indictment of the role played by the British government in the Nigeria-Biafra war. On July 6th 1967 Nigeria invaded Biafra & began the most savage war in the history of West Africa: a war whose successful prosecution inevitably involved the partial annihilation of an ethnic group, the Ibos, and in which nearly two million civilians, mostly old people and children, have died through starvation alone. For what reasons is the present British administration prepared to condone genocide as a means to preserving the unity of a federated Nigeria along the frontiers mapped out in 1914?" 118pp., numerous b+w plates.

AFRICA@WAR SERIES: VOLUME 9 SOMALIA: US INTERVENTION 1992-1994 The end of the Cold War introduced an altered global dynamic. The old bond of East/West patronage in Africa was broken, weakening the first crop of independent revolutionary leadership on the continent who no longer had the support of one or other of the superpowers. With collapse of the Soviet Union, all this changed. The question of global/strategic security devolved into regional peacekeeping and peace enforcement, characterized primarily by the Balkans War, but also many other minor regional squabbles across the developing world that erupted as old regimes fell and nations sought to build unity out of the ashes. In Africa the situation was exacerbated by an inherent tribalism and factionalism that had tended to be artificially suppressed by powerful, often military, dictatorships, generally unconcerned with the needs and requirements of an oppressed population. No more striking example of this can be found than Somalia. One of the only effective armed resistance movements mounted against European colonisation in Africa took place in Somalia, which was suppressed only after enormous military expenditure. The crisis in Somalia that began to take shape with the ouster of military leader Mohammed Siad Barre during the early years of the 1990s forced both the United States and the United Nations to adapt their collective military policy toward the challenges of peacekeeping, and peace enforcement, in a human environment only dimly understood, extremely austere in terms of local infrastructure and with a warring clan leadership. This book tells the story of the international intervention that took place in Somalia, the successes, failures and lessons learned. Many broad assumptions were made based on an unclear understanding of the dynamics of a regional conflict, coupled with the necessity for the first time in modern military history to balance political necessities with military. The crisis in Somalia set the tone for military intervention in a post-Cold War world, and although the same mistakes have been depressingly often repeated, the complexion of global military organization changed dramatically as a consequence of this episode.
