This book deals with ethnic conflicts in the Northern Region of Ghana. It focuses more on ethnic conflicts in the eastern corridor of the Northern region in the 1980s and 1990s. The areas of the conflicts are in Dagbon, Nanun and Gonjaland.

The book is the most authoritative and exhaustive work ever written by a Ghanaian. It adds a lot more to our superficial knowledge of the conflicts. The book provides a detailed account of the causes of the conflicts and the historical backgrounds of the belligerents.

Information in this book will, without doubt, help a great deal to avert future ethnic conflicts in Ghana, and perhaps elsewhere in Africa. This is a book history students, administrators, politicians, security agencies and peacemakers must read.
