Discover the untold story of France’s brutal neocolonial war in Cameroon during the 1950s and ’60s. “The Cameroon War” by Verso Books reveals the hidden history of a violent counterinsurgency campaign against the pro-independence Union of the Peoples of Cameroon (UPC). This gripping account exposes how French forces employed brutal tactics, mirroring those in Algeria, to suppress self-determination and install a compliant regime. Despite its devastating impact and millions of victims, this conflict was deliberately obscured by authorities. Uncover the origins of neocolonialism in Francophone Africa and its enduring legacy in this essential read for understanding contemporary African history. Perfect for readers interested in post-colonial studies and African politics.
