About This Item
(New York, Council on Foreign Relations, 1987). 8vo; original burgundy cloth; laminated dustwrapper somewhat edgeworn; pp. xii + 51. Very good condition. "General Obasanjo . . . offers a broad appraisal of Africa's well-being in this book, adapted from the Leffingwell lecture series he gave at the Council on Foreign Relations in March 1987. He is acutely aware of Africa's problems, and warns of the consequences of further delay in seeking solutions. He argues that the overall answer lies in development of economic resources and manpower, but each country must be treated individually, and problems must be resolved in the context of Africa's unique environment and challenges." .
