Table of ContentsReviews"""Barry Cunliffe completes his circumnavigation of the ancient Mediterranean world by navigating the often little known, and ever-changing, relationships between North and Sub-Saharan Africa. He describes the contests between humans and their environments and between polities for control of resources. His compelling story is based on ""the detritus of human existence"", also oral and written histories. He conjures up a remarkable chronicle of human interactions from often obscure and little-known sources that extend from Morocco to the East African coast and far beyond. Facing is a beautifully written masterpiece of historical synthesis that places the Sahara in its true historical context.
