Description
The civil war in 1989 promised freedom from ten years of vicious dictatorship; instead the seeds of Liberia's devastation were sown. Mark Huband's account of the conflict is a portrayal of the war as it unfolded, drawing on the author's experience of living amongst the fighters. Review: First Hand Experience of Brutal War - I had read bits and pieces of this book on an online search engine's "Books" section (guess which?) and I knew I had to get it. It is quite detailed and an illuminating read on a civil war that was pretty brutal. I grew up in Nigeria and was at boarding school when the Liberian war kicked off and although it dominated the news in my country I rarely got to read about it myself due to being in school at the time. If you want to understand the Liberian crisis, this tells you better than others currently in print.
