@LittleHardman The Book Smugglers of Timbuktoo, Charlie English (2017). A mix of investigative journalism, research, history and travel. Follows two stories about Timbuktoo. One contemporary, the other historic. Very enjoyable.
Insightful thread on the story of IS recruits returning from the battlefield. @ShirazMaher director of the @ICSR_Centre analyses. Including: What should happen to fighters? What should happen to non-combatants (mostly women)? What should happen to minors taken or born there?
Interesting lines on the production of manuscripts and general “bibliophilism” in historic Timbuktu. @CharlieEnglish1 in his 2017 work ‘The Book Smugglers of Timbuktu’. Would recommend for readers of historical non-fiction and adventure stories 📖👍👨🎓
