Book description: London: Abacus, 2001 No marks or inscriptions. No creasing to covers or to spine. Clean bright boards with no bumps to corners. A lovely clean crisp tight copy. In 1880 the continent of Africa was largely unexplored by Europeans. Less than thirty years later, only Liberia and Ethiopia remained unconquered by them. The rest - 10 million square miles with 110 million bewildered new subjects - had been carved up by five European powers (and one extraordinary indiviual) in the name of Commerce, Christianity, 'Civilization' and Conquest. This books tells that story. 738pp.. Paperback. Fine. 7.75 x 5 inches.
