'This exciting and timely book takes issue with much of mainstream corruption analysis and especially with the disappointing record of the resulting policy advice, at least in terms of the undiminished incidence of corrupt practices. Focusing on the issue of political corruption, the essays in this collection manage to advance our knowledge about the general theme while providing valuable country studies of some of the highest profile and most intractable of such instances in sub-Saharan Africa.'--Ricardo Soares de Oliveira, University of Oxford, UK'Political Corruption in Africa: Extraction and Power Preservation is a readable book, beautifully edited by Inge Amundsen. It is a major scholarly contribution and is a powerful book, based upon many deeply researched country case studies. A must read for any policy practitioner, investor, activist or scholar needing to understand how political corruption functions in today's Africa.'--Alex Vines OBE, Coventry University, UK
