This book examines the causes, course and consequences of warfare
in twentieth century Africa, a period which spanned colonial
rebellions, both World Wars, and the decolonization process.
Timothy Stapleton contextualizes the essential debates and
controversies surrounding African conflict in the twentieth century
while providing insightful introductions to such conflicts as:
African rebellions against colonial regimes in the early twentieth
century, including the rebellion and infamous genocide of the
Herero and Nama people in present-day Namibia; The African fronts
of World War I and World War II, and the involvement of colonized
African peoples in these global conflicts; Conflict surrounding the
widespread decolonization of Africa in the 1950s and 1960s;
Rebellion and civil war in Africa during the Cold War, when
American and Soviet elements often intervened in efforts to turn
African battlegrounds into Cold War proxy conflicts; The Second
Congo Civil War, which is arguably the bloodiest conflict in any
region since World War II; Supported by a glossary, a who's who of
key figures, a timeline of major events, a rich bibliography, and a
set of documents which highlight the themes of the book, Africa:
War and Conflict in the Twentieth Century is the best available
resource for students and scholars seeking an introduction to
violent conflict in recent African history.
