- catalog abstract ""The Horn of Africa - principally comprising Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia - is the stage on which Africa's tragedy is being played out in stark and violent form. In this revised edition of Peter Woodward's comprehensive history of the region, he argues that while conflicts of ethnicity, religion, history and tradition, and the dangers of international conflict, have been lessened by the end of the Cold War, it remains a flash-point standing at the hinge of Africa and the Middle East. Peacekeeping by the USA and UN has ended in bloodshed and failure and all is overladen by Africa's perennial problems of drought, disease and starvation." "There are, however, signs of hope for a new beginning. Drawing on a wide range of original source materials, buttressed by detailed fieldwork, Woodward, who is one of the foremost experts in the field, examines the individual states, their relationships with one another and with the international community and cites peace moves in Sudan and hopes for oil reserves, shows that little has resulted from the apparent involvement of some factions with Osama bin Laden and his supporters, and how Eritrea's borders have been recognised and Somalia's quest for stable democracy shows promise. His book is essential reading for a thorough understanding of the tragedy that has beset the region and of its prospects for peace and progress."--Jacket.".
