Book Overview
Dr. Ayittey writes devastatingly on black neo-colonialism, arguing that commentators are naive to blame Africa's misery on external factors: African leaders themselves have betrayed both the just aspirations of their countrymen and Africa's indigenous policitcal systems, which in no way endorse tyranny.

Depressing Description of Current Conditions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I was a geographic specialist concerned with the mapping of Africa from 1964 to my retirement in 1998. I well remember the high hopes we once had that the newly freed Africans would be able to develop and join the developed world on equal terms. The author, of African heritage himself, has covered in great detail what went wrong. Resulting in the current anarchial state of affairs,with international and civil wars, ethnic cleansing, and economic ruin. With the end of the Cold War and the cutting back of aid from the First and Second Worlds, the Third is greatly the worse for it. This is a dam sad book and I never could finish it.
