7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Good readBy vincentA short but very instructive book about african history from early civilisation to slavery and after. I guess i can say that it is a summary of african history. I highly recommend it for anyone that want to get some knowledge about africa but does not want to read 50 books.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.
