Publisher's Synopsis
"CLOUDS OF A GHOULISH WAR" is about the advent of the civil wars in Sierra Leone and Liberia in the 1990s. The book describes real events that took place in real locations in both countries. The Author has endeavored to paint a macabre picture of the wars as seen through the eyes of defenseless families and individuals caught up in the pandemonium. To a large extent, this is their story; a story of excruciating physical pain and intense emotional and psychological trauma. The war stories explored in this book are inextricably interwoven with the prevailing political and socio-economic conditions in both countries during the period under review - from the outbreak of the war in Liberia in 1989 to the invasion of Sierra Leone territory in 1991. Details of the bitter experiences of Sierra Leonean and Liberian refugees on Sierra Leone soil are explored after the war crossed the border into Sierra Leone.
