Eritrea's War

Summary: EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!!
Review: I am studying modern armed conflicts since 20 years and I am always looking for new sources, so I was greately interested by this book. I paid $16 for it, but after receiving it I immediately realised that I wasted my money. Here is why:

1. This is a VERY small book, in fact a small paperback. Only the first 60 pages are actually treating about the topic (war between Eritrea and Ethiopia 1998-2000), and without giving virtually any really interesting information. You can go to the public library, take the international edition of Newsweek from this three years, and in one afternoon You will find more about this war that in this book.
2. The rest of the book is actually a collection of some old articles and lectures by the author on Erithrea in general - this is actually quite smart recycling of old papers, but it doesn't give any more value to the book.

In conclusion, I frankly advise not to buy this - I lost my money, don't do the same mistake.
