comprehensive but not easy reading

very comprehensive, lots of information aboutarious aspects of african history. however, knowing very little about afrcan history before reading this book, i got very confused. information overload! i felt like a bunch of facts were being thrown at me. would be a great book for people who already have anidea about african history but not beginners.
