Summary

"Why another book on Islam and politics in Sudan? The unique history of Sudan's Islamic politics suggests the answer. In Warburg's view, the determination to enforce an Islamic state and an Islamic constitution on a multi-religious and multi-ethnic society has led to prolonged civil war, endless military coups and political, social and economic bankruptcy."--BOOK JACKET.
