Rich, betrayed and lonely : reconstruction of the international plot against Equatorial Guinea

by Mark Blaisse

In March 2004, a group of mercenaries led by British ex-soldier Simon Mann attempted a coup d'etat in Equatorial Guinea in central Africa, a small country, rich in oil. Since then, many books have been written about the preparations, financier, involvement of certain countries, and the circumstances in which the mercenaries eventually found themselves, prisoners.
But never before has the coup been so successfully reconstructed - based not on emotions, but on facts.

An international conspiracy reconstructed in an impressive journalistic style.

Reviews

[Gregus · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good journalistic work by Mark Blaisse. If Africa and international politics are something that interests you, don't look for fiction, there is a lot of real stories that are equally crazy - this is one of them!
