Roberts has written a highly entertaining chronicle of a remarkable set of events. As the recent affair in neighbouring Guinea shows, the appetite for a coup is there providing the riches on offer are worth the risk. The final words though should go to Jeffrey Archer from his 1980 novel The Coup. ''Pull off a coup and you're a national hero, fail and you're an evil villain''. Simon Mann would no doubt concur.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Riddles of The Hobbit by Adam Roberts]].
For another enlightening look at Africa we can recommend [[Blood River by Tim Butcher]].
