In this history of the men and ideas that radically changed the course of world history, Lawrence James investigates and analyses how, within 100 years, Europeans persuaded and coerced Africa into becoming a subordinate part of the modern world. His narrative is laced with the experiences of participants and onlookers and introduces the men and women who, for better or worse, stamped their wills on Africa.
