Accidental Allies
The US–Syrian Democratic Forces Partnership Against the Islamic State Michael Knights, The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, USA & Wladimir van Wilgenburg The US-led effort to fight the Islamic State in northeastern Syria since 2014 has been as controversial and poorly understood as it has been significant. This book combines general research with interviews gathered in Syria with Kurdish, Arab and Christian SDF officers, as well as interviews with U.S. and French officials and military officers with on-the-ground involvement in the war. It provides an unprecedented window into how the war was really prosecuted, in the eyes of the participants at all levels, uniquely looking not only at how US soldiers view their partner forces, but how the local partners view them in return.

Leadership, Nation-building and War in South Sudan The Problems of Identity, Statehood and Collective Will
Sonja Theron, African Leadership Centre, King’s College London, UK Spanning South Sudan’s nation-building struggle from its inception up until the current civil war, this book challenges the notion that the continued violence of this process can be reduced to either identity difference or the fault of individual leaders. Rather, it uses the leadership process to understand the complex progressions and relationships that have characterised South Sudan’s nationbuilding trajectory. Sonja Theron argues that the core driving force behind the current conflict in South Sudan can be found in a set of destructive relationships in the leadership of the country that have fueled violence and oppression for the better part of a century.
