’This is more than just another book on insurgency, governance and peacebuilding in Africa. Its ingenuity is grounded upon the lucidity with which unpretentious but disparate facts about Africa's postcolonial challenges are assembled into a comprehensible, multi-disciplinarily logical unity. Indeed, the book has set the bar very high for similar works that will follow.’ Abdul Karim Bangura, Howard University and American University's Center for Global Peace, USA ’This book offers the most comprehensive scholarly lens for understanding the internal and external geopolitical, economic, and cultural challenges that have dominated the postcolonial era in Africa. Superbly woven into the narratives are detailed analyses of the causes of the stunted economies brought about by the persistence of violent armed conflicts and the peace-building strategies to resolve these conflicts. An illuminating and thought-provoking book highly recommended for Africanist scholars.’ John A. Arthur, University of Minnesota, Duluth, USA
