Liberia was in the headlines in 1990 when thousands of teenage
fighters, including young men wearing women's clothing and bizarre
objects of decoration, laid seige to the capital, Monrovia. In
response to the crisis, a West African peacekeeping force, ECONMOG,
was sent to stabilize the country and prevent the main warlord,
Charles Taylor, from coming to power. Seven years later, however,
Taylor was elected President. The country had a fragile peace but
the war had spread to its neighbour Sierra Leone. This book traces
the history of the civil war that has blighted Liberia in recent
years and looks at its roots in the way governments have been
established in West Africa during the 20th century.
