Stephen Ellis is a senior researcher at the Afrika-Studiecentrum, Leiden University and co-editor of African Affairs.
"Outstanding... A model of lucid writing, thorough research, and penetrating interpretation, this is one of the best books on Africa in recent years." -Foreign Affairs "By far and away the best on the Liberian civil war. It is difficult to praise it too highly: lucid yet avoiding over-simplification, and entirely free of cant or ideological preconceptions, it is a model of its kind." -The Sunday Telegraph "Cogently argued and supported by a wealth of observation" -Times Literary Supplement "No other available account of the civil war is as concise, accurate, or lucid." -Christian Scholar's Review "Ellis has written a very honest and brave book about a ghastly human experience which has, one learns, much less to do with the primordial past than about the future." -Ecclesiastical History
