Review: As the tital suggests, a short history of Africa, you could get a less biased and more informative account of African history from Wikipedia. Very disappointed, not worth the money. Mr Kerr repeatedly shows his bias against outside influence in Africa, many nations in Africa only seem to move forward with Arabic, European, Indian or Oriental influence. Apparently, according to Mr Kerr, none of this assistance was given in good intent, all foreign input was for personal gain and held Africa back. My jaw dropped when he blamed Robert Mugabe's disastrous ruination of Zimbabwe on the previous government. Don't buy, better researched and balanced books out there.
