The Challenge for Africa; Wangri Maathai – Author
ISBN: 978-0-307-37740-1 (0-307-37740-7)
(Random House, Inc. 2009)

Wangari Maathai illuminates the complex and dynamic nature of the continent, and offers “hardheaded hope” and “realistic options” for change and improvement. With clarity of expression, Maathai analyzes the most egregious “bottlenecks to development in Africa,” occurring at the international, national, and individual levels–cultural upheaval and enduring poverty among them–and deftly describes what Africans can and need to do for themselves, stressing all the while responsibility and accountability.

It's a small book but John Robb's Brave New War is a "good read." So is his blog, Global Guerrillas, although I assume most of you go there already.
