8 great books about the history of the African continent.  With first hand accounts from various explorers, missionaries and colonial officials.  These vintage books show what early settlers to this exciting and rich region experienced and their interactions with the indigenous populations.  

Some of these books include attitudes which may not be totally acceptable today but are a record of the time and therefore put the history of this important area into context.
