When Vietnam veteran and foreign correspondent Charlie Gage is recruited by the shadowy Thomas Colfax to assist with something called Operation Atropos, he has no idea he is about to be enlisted for guerilla warfare in northeast Africa. Once he realizes he’s a mercenary, however, he is not at all concerned. Ever since his young secretary was killed by a grenade at their bureau office in Beirut a couple of years before, he has lost all volition. Which is why he so readily capitulates not only to Colfax, but also, and more dangerously so, to every command of Jeremy Nordstrand, the mystical megalomaniac determined to achieve greatness on their seemingly suicidal mission. Set in the forsaken yet exotic deserts of Ethiopia, Horn of Africa is a vividly detailed and masterfully plotted novel chronicling a broken man’s struggle for salvation and inner freedom in the midst of a broken nation’s fight for stability and peace.

A Military Bibliography of the Horn of Africa is not only one of the most authoritative and comprehensive study of the region's military history but is also the first bibliography on the military history of the region.Since the end of World War II, the Horn of Africa has been one of the most conflicted regions in the world. It is a place where democratic governance is scarce and countless disputes over land, water, and ethnic and religious divisions are rampant. These situations underscore the need for a bibliography that focuses on those issues that contribute to conflict and the use of military force, so that better studies can be conducted to find a common solution.With 6,500 entries, this book features the five countries that make the Horn and is subdivided into sections and subsections that classify the bibliography for easy access.
