Omar Al-Bashir and Africas longest war: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Omar Al-Bashir and Africas longest war" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

President Omar al-Bashir is Africas and arguably Arabias most controversial leader. In power since 1989, he is the first sitting head of state to be issued with an arrest warrant, for war crimes, by International Criminal Court.
He has been a central personality in Islamic and African politics, as well as a love-to-hate figure for the US in the war on terror.
For military history readers, Al-Bashir is a field marshal who has fought possibly the worlds longest conflict. Modern Sudan has been embroiled in war since 1955.
No proper biography has been written on him before. Nor has there been a comprehensive military history of Sudan. The book briefly covers the military background until independence. Then it dissects the long north-south civil war until Bashirs Islamist military coup in 1989. Thereafter it narrates the wars in the east, south, west (in Darfur), International political and military intervention is also factored in.
The author draws on in-depth one-on-one interviews with Bashir himself and his family and close political, military and intelligence colleagues
