review 1: Through anecdotal and analysis of historical events, Richard Dowden portrays both the inspiring and depressing stories from Africa, ending this memorable book with a enlightening conclusion on Africa's present state and future which should guide foreign policymakers and agencies in doing what is right, in accordance with the desire of the free people of this great continent, for a brighter future.
review 2: Most of the reviews here are by non-Africans, who definitely recommend this book to. As a Zimbabwean, I found the chapter on Zimbabwe particularly good as the authour looks at Robert Mugabe's motivation for all he's done, rather than just demonising him. Also, I didn't know a lot about East and West African history so those aspects of the book were illuminat... moreing, allowing me to draw comparisons with my own country. A very good read less
