"With so much attention paid to America's war on terror in
Afghanistan and Iraq, the world has all but forgotten the spread of
terrorism in other regions. From South Asia to South America,
terrorist groups are on the rise. One of the most dangerous regions
is the greater Horn of Africa along with Yemen, its volatile
neighbor. This book offers authoritative insight into the struggle
against terrorism in the Horn-what has been done and what work
remains. Robert Rotberg and his colleagues analyze the situation in
Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. The
esteemed contributors are prominent scholars and practitioners,
including several former U.S. ambassadors. Their contributions
reveal how each country's government -with or without U.S. help-is
(or is not) working to combat terrorism within its own borders and
to prevent its spread. Rotberg provides an overview of the entire
region, drawing lessons particularly for U.S. policy. Ba ttling
Terror in the Horn of Africa is a handbook on what needs to be done
at the tension-filled crossroads of Arabia and Africa. It is
important reading for all those with an interest in African or
Middle Eastern affairs or the need to learn more about
international terrorism. Contributors include Robert D. Burrowes
(University of Washington), Timothy Carney (former U.S. ambassador
to Sudan), Johnnie Carson (former ambassador to Kenya), Dan Connell
(Grassroots International), Kenneth J. Menkhaus (Davidson College),
Robert I. Rotberg (Harvard University), and Lange Schemerhorn
(former ambassador to Djibouti). "
