Description:Discover modern Africa! Army LTC (ret.) Mike Connell’s Into Africa brings its diverse characteristics to life. Over 3 years, he visited and studied 18 countries across sub-Saharan Africa, graduated from an Ivorian military staff course, and managed a $3 million U.S. security assistance program for Niger. Afterwards, he served as a Pentagon analyst briefing policy makers on Africa such as Colin Powell, Susan Rice, and James Clapper. Connell’s numerous adventures include:• Accompanying Chadian fighters who proudly showed him destroyed Libyan vehicles from their recent victory on a desert battlefield,• Experiencing a chaotic mutiny of junior soldiers in Niger, • Cooperating with friendly Ivorian villagers who toiled hours in a tropical forest to hew a path with axes and saws through a huge fallen tree that blocked his vehicle, and• Meeting drunken Liberian guards with assault rifles who unsuccessfully tried to extort bribes.Prior to his assignment in Africa, Connell published a thesis on Zaire and earned a Master of Arts Degree in African History at George Washington University. This fascinating memoir sheds light on a widely ignored corner of the world, illustrating the impact of geography, traditional cultures, divergent colonial experiences, and post-independence policy choices on the nations of Africa. Connell’s first-hand account describes how the end of the Cold War initiated significant changes across the continent that reverberate up to the present. The book offers a background, postscript, and author’s note for each country chapter. The first presents a concise historical snapshot of a nation prior to his visit; the postscript explains subsequent developments up to 2020; and the author’s note offers comments on the relevance of his observations today. Three appendices include 70+ photos. Connell is a 1980 West Point graduate and former history teacher.
