So all the holiday free time gave me a chance to finish this 700 page whopper of a history of Africa.
Martin Meredith’s book is amazingly readable for tackling such a huge topic and weaving together so many threads.
I highly recommend it (if you have time for 700 pages), but be careful — it’s pretty depressing reading.
Is there a Cliff Notes version? Just kidding, but I don’t think I could handle more than 200 pages unless it was fiction!
