520    Equatorial Guinea is a tiny country roughly the size of 
       the state of Maryland. Humid, jungle covered, and rife 
       with unpleasant diseases, natives call it Devil Island. 
       Its president in 2004, Obiang Nguema, had been accused of 
       cannibalism, belief in witchcraft, mass murder, billion-
       dollar corruption, and general rule by terror. With so 
       little to recommend it, why in March 2004 was Equatorial 
       Guinea the target of a group of salty British, South 
       African and Zimbabwean mercenaries, traveling on an 
       American-registered ex-National Guard plane specially 
       adapted for military purposes, that was originally flown 
       to Africa by American pilots? The real motive lay deep 
       below the ocean floor: oil. In The Dogs of War, Frederick 
       Forsyth effectively described an attempt by mercenaries to
       overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea - in 1972. 
       And the chain of events surrounding the night of March 7, 
       2004, is a rare case of life imitating art-or, at least, 
       life imitating a 1970s thriller-in almost uncanny detail. 
       With a cast of characters worthy of a remake of Wild Geese
       and a plot as mazy as it was unlikely, The Wonga Coup is a
       tale of venality, overarching vanity and greed whose 
       example speaks to the problems of the entire African 
       continent. .
