Query: revolution in zanzibar

I found this book offered a fascinating insight into our cold war era. I was eleven at the time the author was in Zanzibar and we had just come through the Cuban Missle Crisis. As I read through the book I relived some of those moments.A very interesting insight into a lesser known African nation that plays into many of the issues that face just about all nations in Africa, namely the role that tribalism plays in determing who is in power and who is not in power. Ida Amin was one of the most notorious dictators and in this poignant book one gains an understanding that no matter how large or small your nation is in Africa, the challenges of bringing people together under one rule is daunting.Last, I liked the author's humor. This is not a dry book. I highly recommend it.
