This belongs to that glorious Time-Life series of books from the mid-'60s called the Great Ages of Man. It is a good place to start for the beginner who wants to get a basic grasp of African history and culture. African Kingdoms definitely does a good job at giving the reader a good strong impression of African life, particularly in the pre-colonial era (although the last chapter does touch on colonialism). Impression of African life leaves you with gives you a good foundation from which to launch onwards to something more detailed and comprehensive. The illustrations and photos are wonderful, and really add to the book.
