I’m currently reading several off and on:
http://www.amazon.com/Captain-African-Slaver-Theophile-Conneau/dp/0405018304 (given me by a fellow freeper and a definitive narrative of the West African slave trade early 1800s focusing on the coastal trading centers by someone who was there)
http://www.amazon.com/Commando-Boer-Journal-War/dp/1417925841/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217048910&sr=1-1 ( when Southern Africa was first lost)
Camp of the Saints stays on my bedside, I’ve yet to finish it
These books sound interesting and like they would inspire much discussion. Thank you!
