Africa

Richard Dowden has now, after 35 years on the African continent, written a history of its people's experiences in the wake of the European withdrawal and the superpowers' arrival. He has been present at each of the continent's major crises and writes illuminatingly about them, but he is as passionate about the warmth, wisdom and joy he has encountered in peacetime, and the diversity of habits, attitudes and purposes to which he has been Britain's best witness. This book is no less than a benchmark publication on this most misunderstood and mishandled of continents.
