Timothy J. Stapleton is professor of history at Trent University in Ontario, Canada. Previously he taught at Rhodes University and the University of Fort Hare in South Africa and was a research associate at the University of Zimbabwe and the University of Botswana.
There have been numerous studies of the many wars fought in Africa,
ranging from ancient Carthage against Rome to the colonial period
to the post-Cold War era. However, there have been few attempts at
a single work of comprehensive African military history. Stapleton
has succeeded in this endeavor with this superbly written and
exhaustively researched set. . . . Recommended.
