Phillips. )ou are known as Dan, though, isn+t that right, PH 77 PS: That is right. $: This is being done for the Asso.iation for Diplomati. Studies and Training and I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. Could you tell me when and where you were born and something about your family, PH 77 PS: 7et me provide a brief prologue. n the interest of full disclosure should say that am adding this paragraph after finishing the interview. When looked it over found there was very little in it a2out my family. Perhaps thatAs as it should be. After all, this is not a comprehensive auto2iography but rather an account of the institutions, the people, the issues, and the situations encountered as a professional diplomat. Still, it is important to acknowledge the role my family played in my career. They were an integral part of the adventure and they shared fully in - indeed they were in many ways responsi2le for - most of my successes. My first wife, 0osemary 7eeds Phillips, helped me greatly during the early years. n graduate school she typed my papers, took care of our children and supported us with part-time jo2s. She was with me in Washington, Paris, 7u2um2ashi, Kinshasa, and 7uxem2ourg. She was a super2 BForeign Service wife,C in all that that implied in terms of dedication and sacrifice. Our marriage didnAt survive the stresses that nearly constitute an occupational ha5ard in the Foreign Service, but would not have made it through the first half of my career without her. Our three children, Michael, Madolyn and Catherine, enjoyed the advantages of living a2road 2ut they also suffered the disadvantages. Michael was in seven different schools before he was 14 years oldK They were intelligent, inLuisitive and adapta2le children though, and they rose to the challenges of a nomadic existence magnificently. t would have been much less satisfying and much less fun without them. n 1,84 married 7ucie Colvin Phillips. She is a linguist, a scholar, and one of AmericaAs foremost experts on African social and economic history. She contri2uted immensely to the second half of my career. Her two sons, my stepsons, Charlie and David Colvin, added a new and happy dimension to my life. There were others; my father, my stepmother, my sisters Patricia Daniels and 0osemary Partridge, my aunt Madolyn, my in-laws, other relatives and a maid1nanny named Minnie, all who helped me along the way. t didnAt Luite take a village to get me where am, but it sure took an extended family. To go back to your Luestion, was born in Peoria, llinois in 1,... My mother died when was six months old and was raised by my father, who was an executive with Phillips Petroleum Company, and by my stepmother Marie Phillips, who my father married when was a2out four. n 1,41, at the beginning of the Second World War, we moved to Wichita, Kansas where lived until went into the army in 1,3.. 6 $: /here did you go to grammar s.hool, PH 77 PS: went to Catholic grammar schools in Peoria and Wichita. $: I am trying to .apture some so.ial history be.ause its important to know who you are. 0ow did you find your edu.ation at the elementary s.hool level in the Catholi. s.hools, PH 77 PS: think elementary-level education suffered during the war because of a shortage of teachers and personnel of all kinds. My early years in Peoria were fine but when got to Wichita the war effort was draining resources away from both pu2lic and private schools. We were taught by nuns who normally would have retired earlier. $: I was in that era, too, and I saw that a lot of retired people .ame ba.k to work and it really showed. PH 77 PS: Yes, and we did not have any extras then. donAt remem2er having an art class or music class. Budgets were cut to the bone 2ecause of the war. $: 1efore you went to high s.hool did you read mu.h, PH 77 PS: was read to very much as a child by the adults in my life and when learned to read on my own was captivated by childrenAs literature. remem2er reading the entire Tar5an series. $: )ou went to a Catholi. high s.hool as well, PH 77 PS: Yes, went to Wichita Cathedral High School. By that time it was the post- war period but there were still teacher shortages. After a few years my family decided it would be better to try a private school and transferred to a Benedictine school in Canyon City, Colorado. graduated from the Holy Cross A22y school of Canyon City. $: /e are going to talk about foreign affairs eventually. )ou were really in the heartland of the 2nited States. Did foreign affairs intrude mu.h into your life, PH 77 PS: Not at all. didnAt learn any languages. studied a little Spanish. At that point in my life didnAt dream of going into the Foreign Service. $: /hat year did you graduate, PH 77 PS: graduated in 1,30 $: )ou graduated in June 195 , whi.h is an important month be.ause of the Korean /ar. /hat did you do then, PH 77 PS: had started grade school a year early than most children, you have that choice when you are born in Fe2ruary, and was only 17 when graduated from high 7 school. enrolled in college but was not really prepared for college. spent a couple of years at Wichita State University and then transferred to the University of Colorado, but did not do well. $: /ere you ma3oring in anything, PH 77 PS: was majoring in li2eral arts. n 1,3., transferred back to Wichita State University. had passed the draft deferral examination but made the mistake of not taking enough credit hours to keep my deferral and in 1,3.

    Since the middle of the twentieth century Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa in particular, has been dogged by war and its ever present partners; conquest, famine and death. Much debate can be, and is, had about who or what is to blame for this sorry state of affairs, and what is certain is that there are no shortage of political commentators who are all too happy to tell you their theories. In B’Maso I have attempted, but not always succeeded, to avoid any such postulating. Instead of politics, what the gamer will find inside is lots of information that will, I hope, allow him to refight a selection of African wars, stretching from the 1950s up to the 1990s across thousands of miles and hundreds of cultures. There are rule changes and additions that will help the gamer produce games that capture the feel of the various conflicts – some generic to Africa, others specific to one conflict. As will be seen, so much of the fighting in Africa was, in effect, the embodiment of the cold war fought by proxies. This can mean that all sorts of weird and wonderful equipment can turn up, from pre-WWII armoured trucks to the most modern technology. In many places it is impossible to provide detailed orders of battle, as formations operated on an entirely ad hoc basis, using anything that they could lay their hands on. What we have done throughout, however, is provide information on organisational structures and equipment that was used by the various nations, factions, tribes and groups.
