Times UK <br> This book is anecdotal, engaging, realistic, and delightfully up-to-date.

Kirkus, February 1, 2009, STARRED review<br> The director of the Royal African Society offers an ambitious, roundly informative and still intimate look at sub-Saharan Africa's turbulent road in the modern era. ...Dowden displays a deeply felt knowledge of the recent history of sub-Sahara Africa, and his suggestions for its future are well-informed and wise. A remarkably full-bodied and frank discussion of Africa's place in the world.
