Between Democracy And Terror The Sierra Leone Civil War

"Between Democracy and Terror is the first serious study to engage with the Sierra Leone civil war. It explores the genesis of the crisis; the contradictory roles of different internal actors; civil society and the fourth estate; the regional intervention force; the demise of the second republic; and the numerous peace initiatives to end the war." "This study articulates how internal actors tread the multiple but conflicting pathways to power, why the war lasted for as long as it did, and how non-conventional actors were able to inaugurate and sustain an insurgency that called forth the largest concentration of United Nations peacekeepers the world has ever seen."--BOOK JACKET.Abdullah, Ibrahim is the author of 'Between Democracy And Terror The Sierra Leone Civil War' with ISBN 9782869781238 and ISBN 2869781237.
