Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the challenges faced by newly sovereign African nations post-World War II, highlighting the impact of arbitrary borders and inherited state structures. It examines how the first generation of leaders resorted to kleptocracy, while ethnic communities and warlords turned to small arms, particularly the AK47, as a means to power and survival. The narrative delves into the region's rich natural resources and the pervasive illicit arms trade, illustrating how these factors contribute to ongoing struggles for identity, security, and governance in Tropical Africa.
