| Rhodesia/Zimbabwe why not ? Anything that covers these not so well known insurgent wars in Africa will be interesting.

| Even more original would be a game on the conflict which took place in Cameroon between UPC independantists and French colonial authorities. Eventually, UPC - backed up by China to some extent - was crushed along with thousands of civilians. This is an almost unknown story in France although it was one of the most brutal insurgent wars in the French Sub-Saharan colonies. A book was recently published in that topic (it's in French and I haven't read it): Thomas Deltombe, Manuel Domergue, Jacob Tatsita, KAMERUN!, une guerre cachée aux origines de la FrançAfrique, 1948-1971,éditions La Découverte, 2011 Having said that, this is may be not an originality contest |

| Merci du tuyau. C'est un sujet qui m'intéressait beaucoup (j'avais même pensé faire ma maitrise sur l'UPC avant de bifurquer sur la marine danoise pendant la grande guerre du Nord) mais vu ton retour je vais sans doute m'abstenir... |

Je t'en dirai plus prochainement - j'ai du mal à avancer dedans. Il est bien documenté mais on sent l'esprit partisan d'entrée de jeu. ça sent la thèse, bien construite... j'attends d'arriver au cœur du sujet... Mais à mon avis, ça va être long long long... |

Especially Street Without Joy.
Bernard Fall has participated at two wars as journalist. He died after stepping on a mine during a patrol in a strategic sector for the guerrilla, where already he patrolled with the french. |
