Without addressing critical causes of national frailty, many nations may crumple by the future pandemic, severe climate change events, or sudden shock events like the Russia-Ukraine crisis. This volume probes the recent FSI's 37 of 50 most fragile nations that are all African, deduced causes of their frailties and infer ways to address the issues retaining them behind. The retrospection may not please the reviewed nations' past and present leaders but the work is not intended to discredit their earnest efforts; rather it is to cause sober re-assessment of past political actions and inactions towards corrections going forward. Expositions herein should incite issue-based politics and help to transcend politics of empty rhetoric and personal attacks. The volume is a good reading for good governance advocates, for the politically minded, and students of Politics, Government, Modern History, International Studies, Crimes Prevention and Control; these segments should read the book.
