Fortunes of Africa: A 5,000 Year History of Wealth, Greed and Endeavour Martin Meredith Simon & Schuster Ltd

In this vast and vivid panorama of history, Martin Meredith, bestselling author of The State of Africa, follows the fortunes of Africa over a period of 5,000 years. With compelling narrative, he traces the rise and fall of ancient kingdoms and empires; the spread of Christianity and Islam; the enduring quest for gold and other riches; the exploits of explorers and missionaries; and the impact of European colonisation. He examines, too, the fate of modern African states and concludes with a glimpse into their future. This is history on an epic scale. Σελίδες: 768, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0604, Διαστάσεις: 13x13cm
