Their work provided general background for the present volume.
The authors also gratefully acknowledge the numerous
individuals in various government agencies and private institutions
who gave of their time, research materials, and expertise in the
production of this book. These individuals include Ralph K.
Benesch, who oversees the Country Studies/Area Handbook program for
the Department of the Army.
The staff of the Federal Research Division who contributed
directly to preparation of the manuscript also deserve recognition.
These people include Sandra W. Meditz, who reviewed all drafts and
served as liaison with the sponsoring agency; Marilyn L. Majeska,
who managed editing and production; Andrea T. Merrill, who edited
tables and figures; Ramón Miró and Tim L. Merrill, who provided
research support; and Barbara Edgerton and Izella Watson, who did
word processing. Stephen C. Cranton, David P. Cabitto, and Janie L.
Gilchrist prepared the camera-ready copy.
Also involved in preparing the text were Helen Chapin Metz, who
helped with editing, and Carolyn Hinton, who performed the
prepublication editorial review. Joan C. Cook compiled the index.
David P. Cabitto prepared the graphics. Harriett R. Blood
prepared the topography and drainage map; Thomas D. Hall drafted
the remaining maps. David P. Cabitto and the firm of Greenhorne and
O'Mara prepared the final maps. Special thanks go to Teresa Kamp,
who prepared the illustrations on the title page of each chapter
and the cover art.
The editor and the authors acknowledge the generosity of the
Embassy of Ghana, the White House, James Sanders, and Brook, Rose,
and Cooper Le Van, who allowed their photographs to be used in this
study. Staff of the Embassy of Ghana in addition provided
invaluable guidance in the drafting of the rank and insignia
charts. Finally, the editor wishes to acknowledge the support given
by authors David Owusu-Ansah, Maxwell Owusu, and Thomas P. Ofcansky
to this volume. Their devotion clearly exceeded the normal call of
