Summary:

In a follow-up to his ground-breaking Africa Betrayed, George Ayittey takes up the plight of Africa at the end of the 20th century. As he sees countries like Nigeria go over the edge of economic and social disaster, Ayittey uses his formidable powers of analysis to look at the political economy of the continent, the incursion of foreign powers and the relationship of Africa to the world market. As always, Ayittey's stinging conclusions will infuriate some and invigorate others.
