{"product_id":"the-cameroon-war-thomas-deltombe","title":"The Cameroon War (Thomas Deltombe)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eAccording to conventional wisdom, France's empire in sub- Saharan Africa ended peacefully. But this book tells a different story. The shocking violence of a secret war roiled Cameroon in the 1950s and '60s. A mass movement for self-determination had emerged under the leadership of the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon (UPC), and France responded with brutal repression. As in Algeria, French forces waged a bloody counterinsurgency campaign. They eventually eradicated the opposition and installed a client dictatorship in the capital, Yaoundé.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the world focused on the Algerian bloodbath, the conflict in Cameroon received little attention at the time. Its devastating aftermath - and tens of thousands of victims - were intentionally obscured by French authorities and their local collaborators.\u003ci\u003e The Cameroon War\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers this hidden history. It illuminates a forgotten struggle for decolonisation at the origin of neocolonial rule in Francophone Africa, a story that is still unfolding today.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThomas Deltombe\u003c\/b\u003e is an editor and journalist who writes widely for the French press.\n\u003cb\u003eManuel Domergue\u003c\/b\u003e is Research Director at the Fondation Abbé Pierre and a regular contributor to \u003ci\u003eAlternatives Economiques.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJacob Tatsitsa\u003c\/b\u003e is a Cameroonian historian who has taught at the University of Yaoundé.\n\u003cb\u003eDavid Broder \u003c\/b\u003eis a Rome-based writer and translator.
