Editorial Reviews: Book Description This book represents the first attempt to holistically document and analyze the causes of deadly conflict in Liberia from its founding to the present. It reconstructs and examines the root, operational, and catalytic causes of seventeen internal deadly conflicts that transpired in Liberia between 1822 and 2003, including the 1980 coup d?etat against the Tolbert regime and the Liberian Civil War (1989-1997) (Great War). The book seeks to answer two primary questions: what are the historical causes of deadly conflict in Liberia, and to what extent has the evolution of settler nationalism contributed to the stimulation of conflict between settler and native Liberians? To answer these questions, Levitt examines a continuum of circular causation among the state of affairs that led to the founding of the Liberian State, the evolution of settler authoritarianism and nationalism, and internal conflict. By analyzing these processes together, the causes of seventeen conflicts are revealed and thoroughly discussed. The book also has three major objectives: to determine the historical causes of deadly conflict in Liberia, in particular, the underlining historical phenomena responsible for birthing the Great War; to present an alternative framework to comprehend and examine the aged conflict dynamic between settler and indigenous Liberians, and within Liberian society itself; and to produce the first comprehensive study of deadly conflict in Liberia. This book advantageously spans the fields of political science, history, international law, and peace and conflict studies; it is an excellent interdisciplinary choice.

Customer Reviews: Excellent Overview January 4, 2007 This is ambitious book is an engaging read and an excellent introduction to the remarkable history of Liberia. i did not get the items July 8, 2006 0 out of 6 found this review helpful I have not received my books as of yet and it makes it difficult for me to review amazon.

March 24, 2006 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Dr. Levitt looks at Liberia and provides a comprehensive analysis and history of the government struggles since the Republic's founding by the ACS. The Evolution of Deadly Conflict in Liberia is a timely and sophisticated must read! June 24, 2005 8 out of 8 found this review helpful In The Evolution of Deadly Conflict in Liberia, Professor Jeremy Levitt has produced a timely, probing, sophisticated and instructive book. By employing an interdisciplinary approach (incorporating history, political science, and peace and conflict studies), Levitt unravels and contextualizes one of the world's most complicated, nuanced and tragic histories (and contemporaries crises), with stinging precision and humanist sensitivity. Accessible and balanced, scholars, lay readers and anyone interested in global politics, the international legacy of colonialism, international law, history, political science, the African Diaspora, and the exigencies of deadly conflict, will want to purchase this book. I highly recommend it!
