A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This is a refreshingly straightforward political history of the Sudan which aims primarily to clarify and elucidate what has become of one of the most intractable civil wars in Africa. --International Affairs

The emphasis here is on the years since the second civil war began in 1983, and as this is the period for Sudan as a whole on which less has been produced than the earlier war and the Addis Ababa agreement, the book is to be welcomed ... Students of Sudanese studies will be grateful to Ann Lesch for pulling so much material together in this book. --Journal Of Modern African Studies

It is crisply and clearly written, with excellent footnotes and bibliography, and should be read not only by those seeking to understand Muslim-Christian conflicts but by all with a concern for refugees, for the victims of human rights' abuses and even more general concerns about the instability of Africa. No specialist knowledge is required. --Theological Book Review
