"This book's great strength is to put the contemporary, postwar condition of Angola into a historical context and to show how the present cannot be understood without this highly particular past. It is also very useful as a basis for the comparative analysis of African polities and economies." — Chris Cramer, professor in development studies and chair of the Centre of African Studies, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
