Travail impressionnant
À lire comme une introduction (très détaillée) à une facette de l'histoire africaine. Un livre très étoffé et riche de sources (à se perdre des heures en partant d'une note de bas de page). Un vrai plaisir à lire. Un ouvrage d'une grande rigueur historique et surprenant d'objectivité.

Repaso magnífico
Repaso magnífico de la historia de Africa. Aporta una gran cantidad de datos que en ocasiones pueden interrumpir la fluidez de la lectura pero es un libro como ningún otro sobre esta materia. Lo recomendaría para aquellas personas que estén empezando a conocer la historia del continente africano, pero que ya dispongan de una breve noción anterior.

Objectivity for a history of one of the most controversial of places.
For transparency this is the second copy of this book I have bought. I read it a few years ago on a trip back from Afghanistan. Objective, honest and sometime brutally honest look at the decolonization of Africa and the heroes and villains of the process. Mr. Meredith takes the reader through the late 19th century to the end of the 20th with a clear history of those time. It should be on your shelf if you are at all interested on how the world got to where it is in Sub-Saharan Africa. I highly recommend it.
