Mark Wentling is one of the rare people on Earth who has visited or worked in all fifty-four African countries. "Africa's Heart" is the culmination of four decades of thinking and research. Although a work of fiction, it is a valuable, instructional, and enjoyable aid to anyone desiring to know Africa. In particular, it is aimed at those who want to provide assistance to Africans.
Wentling has published a number of professional articles expressing his views about Africa's political and economic predicaments. Few people are in a better position to tell this calamitous story.
