Kritik
"The Palgrave Handbook of Small Arms and Conflicts in Africa is a volume that is incredible broad in scope and deep at the same time. Uman A. Tar and Charles P. Onwurah have certainly managed to assemble a team that has put together a handbook that offers orientation in a field that is overly complex and dynamic." (Ulf Engel, Connections, July 15, 2022)
"Finally, through several case-studies, the book offers a wealth of national and regional experiences, providing an extraordinary analytical and practical framework for the issue of small arms and conflict in Africa. Drawing on an impressive range of specialists, the editors furnish a remarkable depth of information to address the issues raised by small arms on the continent. ... This book can be recommended not only to specialists in conventional arms issues, but also to anyone interested in the African continent." (Theò Bajon, International Affairs, Vol. 98 (2), 2022)mehr
