Description

Through a compelling narrative, Marq de Villiers and Sheila Hirtle recount the often humorous and sometimes harrowing adventures of a modern journey through the continent. But the story that unfolds is equally a journey through Africa's past, for it is impossible to see Africa clearly without a sense of its history. (1999)
