Title: Excellent survey for the first-time reader
Product review: Extremely well written and hard to put down.Shillington has an obvious affection for Africa, but I expected it and allowed for it. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for a first survey of African history.I would like to have seen more maps, with less information on each map.I'm not sure the book would make a good text for college, but it makes a great book for general reading.
