Originally published in 1976, this book combines detailed technical
studies of the diplomacy of the land and waterborne warfare of
pre-colonial West Africa. It draws attention to the connexion
between these topics as dual aspects of international relations and
refers to those parts of West African indigenous diplomacy, showing
how these resembled and diverged from practice elsewhere. The
causes and consequences of West African wars are analysed and the
wide range of weaponry, armour and transport used by armies is also
discussed. Strategy and tactics of the wars in relation to
defensive operations are also examined. Throughout the book a
considerable body of evidence from many sources is deployed to
justify both the factual content and the conclusions which are
drawn.
