It is not generally known in the West that Africa has a long tradition of counter-terrorism since the 1950s. For several decades Sub-Saharan African states like Colonial Kenya, Rhodesia and Apartheid South Africa regularly defeated terrorism with limited resources. This is a study into the world of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency in Sub-Saharan Africa. He also warns on the lack of solid intelligence in the war on terror from Sub-Saharan Africa and the reasons why it is not as good as it could and should be. This book is not fiction.
