THE GOVERNMENT THEY DESERVE: Role of the Elite in Sudan's Political Evolution. by Khalid, Mansour - (1990)

London:: Kegan Paul International,, (1990). Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. "A former minister in the Sudanese government attributes the country's current political crisis to the monopoly of power by a small group since independence three decades ago. He traces the evolution of politics, the first multi-party government, and the period of military rule, and analyzes the era of revolution and its effect on domestic and foreign policy." Although this books ends on a hopeful note - the way ahead - Sudan now, 30 years later, is more deeply mired in corruption, violence and revolution than ever. Notes at the end of each chapter. Several appendices, bibliography, index. viii, 480 pp. Map endpapers.
