Abstract
: 
The post-colonial history of Sudan has been characterised by two Civil Wars spanning almost two decades each: the first from 1955-1972 and the second from 1983-2005. This book offers a revisionist comparative analysis of these Sudanese Civil Wars, disputing the notion that the 1972 Addis Abba Agreement was a prelude to renewed conflict in 1983.
