Hempstone and published in 1967. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the political, economic, and social conditions of Africa during the post-colonial era.

The book covers a range of topics, including the impact of colonialism on African societies, the rise of nationalism and independence movements, the challenges of nation-building, and the role of external forces such as the Cold War and international aid.

Throughout the book, Hempstone provides detailed case studies of African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, and Kenya, offering a nuanced and insightful analysis of their unique histories and challenges. He also provides a critical evaluation of the role of Western powers in Africa, arguing that their policies have often been misguided and exploitative.
