Review:

Provides thorough coverage of the archaelogy, prehistory, culture, geography, politics, science, religion, art and many other aspects of Chad... (Reference and Research Book News)

...an extremely useful tool for those who wish to follow the intricacies of current Chadian politics...an inescapable work of reference for those working on Chad... (International Journal of African Historical Studies)

...the dictionary will contribute to a better understanding of the problems of Chad... (Journal of African History)

This work is essential in the understanding and improvement of the impoverished and disintegrating country of Chad. Decalo's brilliant research and outspoken descriptions of this century's politics are invaluable. (American Reference Books Annual)
