5.0 out of 5 stars
Ocean Transportation,
By Nathan Arnold "Nathan" (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Scramble for Africa (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Going off of memory, Chamberlain does a fine job of describing the ocean vessel / steamship business through the Suez canal and Gibraltar straights and how the exploitation of Africa really arose out of transportation technology improvements among the agressive colonizing states - hence the 'scramble'.
This is nothing more than a primer. It is not about Africa - it's really about the 'Scramble' more than it is about Africa - like many books concerning Africa during the colonial period. Unfortunately very few written histories exists prior to the 1800s in sub-Saharan Africa.

This review is from: The Scramble for Africa (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This book is very concise and as such is a good start to understanding the Scramble for Africa.
