This book tells a very different story, exposing the shocking violence of a secret war. Its theatre was Cameroon in the 1950s and ’60s, where a mass movement for self-determination emerged under the leadership of a pro-independence party, the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon (UPC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn response, the colonial power opted for brutal repression. Employing the same methods as in Algeria, French forces waged a counterinsurgency campaign of extraordinary violence, eventually eradicating the opposition and installing a client dictatorship in Yaoundé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the height of the Cold War, with attention focused on the Algerian bloodbath, the conflict in Cameroon received little attention at the time. Subsequently, its devastating consequences — and tens of thousands of victims — would be intentionally obscured by French authorities and their local collaborators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Cameroon War\u003c\/em\u003e uncovers this hidden history for the first time. It illuminates a forgotten struggle for decolonization at the origin of neocolonial rule in Francophone Africa that persists to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000770150636,"sku":"9781788733762","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23866663482824.jpg?v=1763303315"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/manuel-domergue.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
