Verdict: carrot
The Wonga Coup by Adam Roberts tells the story of the attempted coup in Equitorial Giunea in 2004 by a group of ex-British SAS officers. With the recent release of some of the plotters from Equitorial Guinea - including Simon Mann, who’s threatened to spill the beans - Patrick Leeman gives the book his thumbs up.
When it comes to attempted coups against governments in Africa, some people just never learn.
An excellent example of an incompetent would-be coup on the continent is illustrated in this new paperback, timely because of the recent release of mercenary Simon Mann and others from Equatorial Guinea.
