5.0 out of 5 stars An enlightening read, 25 Jul 2005
By Peter Jones (Springfield, IL) - See all my reviews
A CONTINENT FOR THE TAKING is a beautifully written work that provides a fascinating insight into Africa's underdevelopment and civil strife. Devoid of sentimentality and full of objectivity, the author conveys the deep message, which explains the hope that the continent has retained despite its turbulent history. Behind the tragedies of the continent are the heavy hands of the ex-colonial masters and the exploitative drives of some business concerns working in partnership with African dictators, psychopaths and administrative kleptomaniacs that have power and are excluding the people in the running of the land.
The author sees an inevitable victory for the forces of hope against the perpetrators of evil in the continent, since the fall out of Africa's misery cannot be ignored by the rest of the world forever. Other titles that treat this African malaise are AFRICA UNCHAINED, DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE , THE SCHAKLED CONTINENT, TRIPLE AGENT DOUBLE CROSS. Together these titles exposed the personal and collective problems of the people and the personal and collective efforts, and the means and ways to take the Africa forward.
