Reviews
“Drawing from thorough research in Sierra Leone and Liberia, Michael Beevers offers an insightful critique of the dangerous oversimplification of ‘conflict resources’ and ‘greed war’ narratives. An important contribution to the peacebuilding literature.” (Philippe Le Billon, University of British Columbia, Canada)
