Recenzii

“An important and thoughtful overview that reminds us that African military history is worth studying in its own right, and that it illuminates much else about ‘state and society.’”—African Studies Review

“(A) much needed counterpart to studies already done on precolonial warfare in other geographical regions of Africa.... Through well-organized chapters, Reid shows how the East African societies...had a refined sense of the meaning of warfare and its influence on identity, respect, royal inheritance, nationhood, and community.”—International Journal of African Historical Studies

Notă biografică

Richard Reid is a lecturer in African and Imperial History at the University of Durham.
