When I was in Kenya I noticed that this volume had come out and so back here in the UK I got hold of a copy and have now read it. It is not an academic book but it is a thorough trawl through what is known of African history. The material is presented in an interesting and appealing way and what appears to be quite a balanced approach. A great deal of it was new to me and I would recommend it to any African, European or whatever wanting to expand their understanding of the various issues.
