An essential resource for students or general readers interested in
post-colonial Africa, this encyclopedia provides coverage of
different regions, countries, wars, battles, factions, leaders, and
foreign powers. Armed conflict represents a substantial part of
African history since around 1960, yet this history is either
insufficiently taught or overshadowed by negative stereotypes about
African "tribal warfare." In an effort to introduce this vital
topic to students and general readers alike, this one-volume
encyclopedia provides concise historical information on conflicts
that occurred in postcolonial Africa. The entries cover all the
regions of Africa (North, West, Central, East, and Southern); the
Cold War and post-Cold War periods; a range of important leaders;
various types of conflicts from civil wars and insurgencies to
conventional military engagements; involvement of foreign powers;
and such themes as airpower, women and war, and genocide. Includes
more than 150 entries on various individuals, events, movements,
and organizations Presents further reading sources at the end of
each entry in order to further aid readers in their study of the
topic Offers a chronology of the events discussed throughout the
encyclopedia Features contributions from key scholars in the fields
of African history and military studies
