Ready To Be framed and perfect for a unique gift.CommentsWilliam Viramontes says... Mr. Maier provides a basic education on the Angolan civil war of the 90's and the circumstances under which it came it be.He has done an admirable job of coupling historical fact and his own experiences into a easily readable memoir of less than 300 pages.However, it would be unfair to the author to compare his writing to that of Rysczard Kapuczinski who's writings about Africa are presented in a style which is closer to poetry than non-fiction. I may have just got a bad copy, but it was all I could do to keep the book from disentigrating before I could finish reading it.Every time I opened it 2 or 3 pages would pop out of the binding......... Finally, I would like to put a caution out to the potential reader.Please be aware that I do not have the book in front of me at this time and the following quote may not be exact but I promise it is real close.In the closing pages of the book Mr. Maier writes (for reasons that I cannot remember) " the US's failed attempts to impose their new world order on Mogadishu"..........and that was it....no mention of starving people...the UN...or warlords using food as tools of power.Clearly, Mr. Maier is entitled to his views and I would never condemn this well written book for a single misguided statement, but the reader is left wondering if the author may have left other vital pieces of info out of this book in order to further his political agenda.

Joining others in the 'Culture and Customs of Africa' series is a focus on Angola - a much-needed survey perfect for both high school and college-level collections assigning reports on individual African nations. History and culture provide broad analysis and Angola's background and development, setting it apart from other African experiences in a book perfect for in-depth analysis. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch Posted on August 17, 2011 Emily Giggie says... While this is a better book than "This House Has Fallen" the author's most recent book about Nigeria, it suffers from the same problem of being a series of frequently random encounters with the country in question and the events in it over a period of several years.There is some attempt to give the readers a more structured understanding of the historical and political background, but at the end of the day it is a series of points on a timeline as experienced by the author.His experiences are very interesting, and he is a thoughtful and observant writer who feels an admirable degree of passion for those suffering from the ongoing conflict.
