Acknowledgments
I would like to thank a number of individuals who provided support, advice, and invaluable feedback during the course of this project.
I am profoundly grateful to I. William Zartman who has been such a devoted mentor and a constant source of encouragement. His close readings of the manuscript and insightful comments have strengthened the framework and substance of this book.
I am also indebted to Gilbert M. Khadiagala for his inspiration and for serving as a role model during my transition from graduate school to academia.
In addition, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff at Cambria Press who have been professional and congenial throughout this project.
I am also thankful to my colleagues in the department of history and political science at Charleston Southern University for their encouragement and support during the final stages of the book.
Last but most importantly, I would like to thank my wife, Agnes, for her great patience and understanding, as well as my children, Jerotich, Jerono, Chiri, and Kibet, who provided many hours of fun away from the book and have helped bring balance to my life.
