Excellent book

I use this book for a course I teach on African History and its varied scholarship, depth of knowledge and ability to traverse the entire continent and not just a region or two makes it an ideal text for such a course. In addition, any one interested in pre-colonial African history will find it quite useful and beneficial. The only reason that I did not give it a 5 is because it is written in the typical style academicians use which can often seem bland and unexciting to the casual reader.

Great Read

I needed this book for my history class & it came very fast.
