For beginners of Somali politics, it is good source of read but it has minor distortions of Somali culture and history.

This is the book where you copied from the major error where Shaafici was misspelled "Shujai" and mistook it for a sect instead of madh-hab?

It is good book if you are interested in knowing great details of the time of Mohamed Abdulle Hassan to SYL to successive Somali governments. Your vocabulary would be enriched with suitable terminologies. Well-written and well-researched book.

gurey, the first title was "Modern History of Somaliland" in reference to all Somali territory, but as Somalia was born, he changed the title.
