"The book--far more instructive than a thousand foundation reports--is an account of a tragic farce that took place a couple of years ago....Though the plot concerns a handful of scheming men and a country that is only about the size of Maryland, THE WONGA COUP can be read as a case study of the African failure. Extrapolations are always treacherous...but the story Mr. Roberts tells is sadly representative of the way too many people conduct themselves in too many regions of Africa."Roberts, Adam is the author of 'Wonga Coup A Tale of Guns, Germs And the Steely Determination to Create Mayhem in an Oil-rich Corner of Africa', published 2006 under ISBN 9781586483715 and ISBN 1586483714.
