So much info from different authorities  Mar 17, 2010
This is much better than I had presumed it would be. So much info on Baba Ogun on different aspects of this great Orisha related to his role in warfare, technology, Yoruba culture, etc..with a balance of perspectives from both the continent/Yorubaland and the new world. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with the amount of information contained in this great book from both scholarly and religious sources.
 
Very good book  Aug 1, 2008
A great book about Ogun's cult. If you want to know Ogun in Africa and in Americas, you need this book.
