The Vice Guide to Liberia - A video series explaining the civil war in Liberia; I found this to be one of the easiest resources to understand the war but viewer beware, can be very graphic. It has also been found criticism by various Liberians and Liberian supporters such as Ceasefire Liberia. While the war was a major part of Liberian's history, post-war Liberia has many positive aspects and a warm and welcoming people.
