Bibliography
Dr Richard Reid currently works on the history of warfare and
militarism in Africa. He previously taught at the University of
Asmara in Eritrea, and at Durham University in the UK. He is the
author of several books, including studies of the Kingdom of
Buganda and of warfare in pre-colonial eastern Africa, and a
history of Africa in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Dr
Reid has also published numerous articles on various aspects of war
and militarism in east
and northeast Africa, particularly Eritrea and Ethiopia.
Richard J. Ried is arguably the most gifted historian of Northeast
Africa today, and Frontiers of Violence is undoubtedly his most
significant work yet. Beautifully written and rigorously argued,
this is essential reading for scholars of the Horn of Africa.
