Very Good+ The International African Institute, 1996. Trade Paperback. First Edition ( full number line). Very Good+. Prior owner's name to first page, otherwise Fine. Text unmarked. Very slight reading/shelf wear. Not from a library. xx x + 182 pages. Examines the civil war in Sierra Leone as a crisis of modernity. Do small wars in Africa manifest a new barbarism? What appears as random, anarchic violence is no such thing. The terrifying military methods of of Sierra Leone's soldiers may not fir conventional western models of warfare, but they are rational and effective nonetheless. The war must be understood partly as a 'performance', in which techniques of terror compensate for lack of equipment.
