The Dark Sahara: America’s War on Terror in Africa
Purchase on AmazonThis book reveals the secret US agenda behind the 'war on terror' in Africa and the shocking methods used to perpetuate the myth that the region is a hotbed of Islamic terrorism.
Africa expert Jeremy Keenan points to overwhelming evidence suggesting that, from 2003, the Bush administration and Algerian government were responsible for hostage takings blamed on Islamic militants. This created a permissive public attitude, allowing the US to establish military bases in the region and pursue multiple imperial objectives in the name of security.
The shocking revelations in this book undermine the mainstream view of Africa as a legitimate 'second front' in the 'war on terror'.
Reviews & critics
You must read this if you want to understand what is going in the Sahara region right now. Questions should be asked about the truth in the current situation.
Original. Compelling. Shocking. This is a must read for anyone interested in international politics, Africa, and US foreign policy.
I learned a lot from reading this book, and learned especially how little I know of Africa. Now I'm determined to keep learning more and to share with others. My gratitude to the writer.
