Opis

First published in 2005, "The Fate of Africa" was hailed by reviewers as "A masterpiece....The nonfiction book of the year" ("The New York Post"); "a magnificent achievement" ("Weekly Standard"); "a joy," ("Wall Street Journal") and "one of the decade s most important works on Africa" ("Publishers Weekly," starred review).

Now Martin Meredith has revised this classic history to incorporate important recent developments, including the Darfur crisis in Sudan, Robert Mugabe s continued destructive rule in Zimbabwe, controversies over Western aid and exploitation of Africa s resources, the growing importance and influence of China, and the democratic movement roiling the North African countries of Tunisia, Egypt, and Jordan."
