The Fortunes of Africa

Description

Africa has been pined for its rich regular assets since the time the time of the Pharaohs. In past

hundreds of years, it was the bait of gold, ivory, and slaves that drew trader travelers and

champions from far off. In current occasions, the focal point of consideration is on oil,

precious stones, and other uncommon earth minerals.

In this tremendous and striking display of history, Martin Meredith follows the fortunes of Africa

over a time of 5,000 years. With a convincing account, he follows the ascent and fall of old realms

and domains; the spread of Christianity and Islam; the suffering journey for gold and different

wealth; the endeavors of travelers and ministers; and the effect of European colonization. He

inspects, as well, the destiny of present-day African states and closes with a brief look at their future.
