.Warriors: Life and Death Among the Somalis
City Travel Guides > Books > Somalia
by: Gerald Hanley

October 29, 2004
Astonshingly good. Probably the closest you can get to a malaria-induced fever just from reading. The heat, the insanity, the humour, the senseless, the humanity and the inhumanity - they are all there. Bewitchingly atmospheric prose.

.Culture and Customs of Somalia (Culture & Customs of Africa)
City Travel Guides > Books > Somalia
by: Mohammed Diriye Abdullahi

October 30, 2001
i thought it was too personal and very detailed.i thought some things were not told right, most of the information was a complete lie.our culture has changed from it ways as it was the old days.i want books that talk about our people to be published not something like this where it embarasses our society and puts as down as people and as culture.
personally hated, i just can't believe the negative remarks someone can make.

City Travel Guides > Books > Somalia
by: Robert D Kaplan

2003-11

Kaplan correctly links the famines that struck Ethiopia and Eritrea in that decade to the policies of the Moscow-oriented Dergue junta. He embarasses himself by expressing perplexity over the fact that it was western liberal newspapers such as London Guardian which did most to expose the role of the Dergue in creating famine conditions. In other words, he is apparently incapable of grasping a basic political fact like the distinction between social-democratic liberalism ... Read More:
