Why were the super powers prepared to go to war over Camp NoE? Why was Camp NoE kept a secret until exposed by a Norwegian Nurse? Why would 300 people in Camp NoE be immune to the Ebola virus and malaria, or infectious disease such as AIDS, African trypanosomiasis, Cholera, Chikungunya, Crimeana Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF). What is Golden Blood and why do the West African Super People hold the future to a disease free world. Camp NoE is short for Camp Noebola. Camp NoE was not just about territorial rights; about a realignment of super power global positions or the sovereignty of a country or the exploitation of humans. The novel deals with corruption; deals with the power of the pharmaceutical industry; and a new global political paradigm.

Dr.Siaka Probyn Stevens was the third Prime Minister of Sierra Leone from 1967 to 1971 and the first Executive president of Sierra Leone from 1971 to 1986. Siaka Stevens died on May 29th 1988. May His Soul continue to rest in peace. In 1985, Dr. Siaka Probyn Stevens published his Autobiography- 'What Life Has Taught Me'. What Life Has Taught Me is in part a political history of Sierra Leone and in part the story of a self-made man. This is a republication of the autobiography, which comes in two parts. Part I covers his political career and his role in shaping the political landscape of modern Sierra Leone. There is much in these pages to interest anyone - thoughts about the temptations of corruption, views on ideologies, and free speech. Siaka Stevens talks about his supporters and his opponents. He remembers the first Prime Minister, Sir Milton Margai, with reverence and respect - even when he reflects on his imprisonment during that period. Perhaps most revealing of Stevens (and especially interesting to scholars for its new information and perspectives), is his assessment of the military, attempts on his life, coups he tried to forestall by gentle warnings to potential perpetrators, those that were attempted and failed, as well as the one that succeeded in 1967. Stevens brings this period vividly to life and in the process poses difficult questions about how one controls a military bent on intervention in political affairs. Siaka Stevens has been more successful than many political leaders in this regard and as such his thoughts, concerns, and actions are particularly important. This book is important in addition because it reveals much more than the life of Siaka Stevens. It is also about the process of development, decolonization, and the dynamics of nation building.

China and Africa is a current hot topic. The Love Affair is a strong enthusiasm which has seen an interest and eagerness by the Chinese to engage in Africa. Chinese engagement in Africa has raised various concerns. Although these concerns are real, it seems much of the debate does not take into adequate (sometimes no) account of the historical relations between Africa and China. Indeed one would be forgiven to think that China and Africa started their relations in the 1990s. But this is not the case. Already back in 1957, for example, the Chinese were making large cotton purchases from Egypt. China and Africa Love Affair is a short historical account of the relationship between China and Africa. The objectives of the book are to provide an historical context through which the current debate can take place. Most of the criticism leveled against both China and Africa does not take account of the history between the two. It should do. Its worrying that some criticism of Sino-African relations emanates from non Africans. Understanding the history of Sino-African relationships is critical to what Africans can gain from this relationship. It is also critical to how Africans respond to the Chinese. Sino-African relations are evolving. Failure to understand the historical context in which this relationship has developed, will lead to misunderstanding and perhaps even conflict, which would be detrimental to both parties. Given the gradual decline of old colonial powers and the more recent reorganization of geopolitics that has been necessitated by the unraveling of neo-liberal globalization and economic orthodoxy, to many Africans, young and old alike, China is sometimes seen as having come to Africa only recently. Similarly, many people in Europe and the Americas see Chinese activities as part of the recent rise of China as a global economic power. The majority know little of the long ties that have existed between China and Africa; hence the reason for my book. We Africans, we have the colonial history as our reference point when we judge outsiders. However, if we know about the Chinese, we would recognize that that cannot be compared to the colonialist. My interest was based on my childhood encounter with the Chinese in my native country of Sierra Leone. I became curious as to what the Chinese were doing there. Why they, unlike the Europeans, were mixing with the local workers. Why were they building roads, hospitals and bridges? I wanted to learn more. I also wanted to see what will become of this relationship. This was in 1989. Already then, I had predicted that the relationship between China and Africa would become stronger. This was based a correct analysis of China's determination to become the world's largest economy. I also correctly analyzed, based on the researched, that Africa's natural resources would be critical and valuable to China as they strive to become a global economic power house. I tell a story starting from the 1960s, and ending in the present. I am not a Sino-African expert. I have written a simple book, which I hope the reader will find interesting. China is well on her way to becoming the largest economy in the world. That she put a premium on her relationship with Africa is something we must embrace. Enjoy the book and learn
