Lisa's Reviews > The State of Africa: A History of Fifty Years of Independence

Very interesting book which was packed with information (i think that's the longest it's ever taken me to read a book!).

Would probably have been more readable if Meredith had split the book by country, as commenting on all of them simultaneously made it very difficult to keep track of which your focus was on, as they all have such similarly horrific stories. Would still recommend on the basis of the in-depth information though.
