The state of Africa : a history of fifty years of independence
Martin Meredith (Author)
"Focusing on the key personalities, events and themes of the independence era, Martin Meredith's magisterial history seeks to explore and explain the myriad problems that Africa has faced in the past half-century, and faces still. From the giddy enthusiasms of the 1960s to the 'coming of tyrants' and rapid decline, The State of Africa is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how it came to this - and what, if anything, is to be done."--Jacket
