Bücher von Richard Reid

"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."
