Fighting for the Rain Forest : War, Youth & Resources
in Sierra Leone (African Issues)
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - UK
by Paul Richards
addresses
several misconceptions about war, youth, and resources in Sierra Leone. Paul
Richards argues that the war in Sierra Leone and other small wars in Africa do
not manifest a "new barbarism." What appears as random, anarchic violence is no
such thing. The terrifying military methods of Sierra Leone's soldiers may not
fit Western models of warfare, but they are rational and effective.

White, James Weldon Johnson, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Nannie Helen Burroughs. The
account is taken from memoirs, papers, letters, and newspapers.

Africa (amazon.com) - USA
by Donald Hugh O'Keefe
This book provides more information and insight on the daily life and culture

the terrain, climate, economy, and politics give such a life to the narrative
that the reader is absorbed to the degree that it is hard to put the book down
until the last page has been read. (A reader from Antioch, CA, U.S.A. ,
May 24, 1999)
