Abstract:
The Horn of Africa' - principally Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia - is the stage on which Africa's tragedy is being played out in its most stark and violent form. In this comprehensive survey of the region, Peter Woodward argues that while the principal conflicts have arisen from domestic issues of ehtnicity, history and traditions, they have been magnified by international involvement in this flash-point which stands at the hinge of Africa and the Middle East. Now available in a revised paperback edition, this book will be welcomed by all those interested in the region.
