Book Recommendations on African Security Issues

[claire3923]

I can definitely give you some recommendations...but give me a day or two to get back into my office. What area are you looking for in particular? I have experience in Southern and Eastern Africa.

Also -- can YOU give me any references to readings on the terrorist cells in Eastern Africa (for example in Somalia)?

Thanks!
Claire

I know little of the topic, but there are a couple of long-running threads on Congo and Rwanda here: http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ead.php?t=2129

And Zimbabwe here: http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ead.php?t=4896

Not your specific countries, but in the right area. You may be able to judge from the posts who knows specifics about your particular interests and you might find some useful sources in the threads.

Discovered via a BSAP blog group:

a) www.veteranangola.ru - website of Red Army veterans who served in Angola, in far larger numbers than I recall and support for terrorist groups; yes in Russian, but a part is in English,

b) http://ccrweb.ccr.uct.ac.za/archive/...fdigest03.html or http://ccrweb.ccr.uct.ac.za/archive/...est_index.html
Which is in English, this a paper on Zimbawe's military action in Mozambique.
