Miniature Wargames - Paul Jackson
…a gripping text that highlights just how much political and social considerations dictate the outcome of war… A highly detailed work of military history, The War for Africa can tell us a lot about the nature of counter-insurgency warfare and how small states can become contested battlegrounds between superpowers.
New York Journal of Books
...a very impressive contribution, which will have its place across the world in studies of this theatre.
