Title: Appologist for a dictator: dishonesty in its pure state
Review: The journalistic integrity of Francois Soudan has long been disputed by african affaires experts. This book of his is additional proof for that charge. Soudan fails to address the racial massacres committed against black Mauritanians and the ethnic purges within the army. Nor does he inform his readers of the deportation of black Mauritanians who were shipped across the border back in 1989 because of their ethnicity. The reader should not expect to find any information about the inumerable human right abuses and the profoundly corrupt Mauritanian regime. This is a book written on-demand to deceive westerners about the true nature of the rule of Colonel Maaouiya Ould Sid'Amed Taya.
