Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As stated by the author in the Introduction, there are no ground-breaking revelations from original scholarship within this work. But it is a good, solid introduction to the politics and economics of the subject region. I only found two small historic errors - details that would be obvious to only the most arcane of French colonial historians.
The bibliography reveals that he has consulted virtually every printed source available, and a large part of this book's value lies in the bibliographic resources revealed. Doctor Skinner's collection and collation of facts from widely disparate sources, presented from a highly objective perspective, make this work a valuable introduction for readers who don't have the time or inclination to wallow in the esoterica of the bibliography.
