Items related to Liberia, the rise and fall of the first republic
Established as a home for 'free people of color' from the United States of America early in the nineteenth century. Liberia holds the distinction of being the oldest independent republic in Africa and the only Africa nation never to be ruled by a foreign government. The sole ruling political party. the True Whig Party, held power from 1877 until its overthrow on April 12, 1980. Liberia: The Rise and Fall of the First Republic chronicles the often troubled history of the period and offers a fascinating inside view of recent events in Liberia from the unique vantage point of the writer, who held ministerial office under both the First Republic and the present administration of the People's Redemption Council. The book is well documented and contains much valuable historical material which will be of interest to the general reader and to the historian alike.
