Yeah, I know asking for help on homework isn't encouraged here, but hear me out first. My international political science teacher is making a deal with me: if I can write a good enough essay on a subject of my choice from the Cold War, I can take the zoom-path and finish the class a few weeks early, so that I can go to one of the Army training schools later this fall and get back before Christmas. And I really, really want to take the jungle course in Liberia, so I can visit relatives still over there once I finish...

Anyways, I thought I'd do mine on the African Wars, including but not limited to the Algerian War and its shockwaves in the region. For one thing, there's a good deal of information and documentation (and, unfortunately, propoganda), and I also have relatives who live on the continent who were stationed in Liberia and decided to stay.

But I also need some more sources, and I wouldn't say no to maps. But what I'd really like is some life-stories anyone might have, or some extra political analysis of the times and the aftereffects. You know what I mean.

Anyone mind helping me?
