Historical Dictionary of Chad

By Samuel Decalo

One of Africa's largest yet least known countries, Chad has a rich pre-colonial heritage and a turbulent recent political history. This latest edition of the Historical Dictionary of Chad features new tables that list important statistics on its economic conditions - principal crops, gross domestic product, public finances, and main trade partners, as well as six maps, a list of abbreviations and acronyms, and a selected chronology.

Reviews of the Previous Editon:
... Will prove handy for researchers, historians, journalists, teachers, politicians, and economists. For English speakers, the collection is a double blessing as this is the first time such a source of information on the French speaking countries is presented to them in their own language. -WEST AFRICA
Mr. Decalo is eminently qualified....especially impressive.... presents excellent background to the political and social history... -THE REFERENCE BOOK REVIEW
