"A magisterial account… a towering achievement."
Publishers Weekly, starred review — The Second Emancipation
"He may have made his name as a journalist, but he is a historian now… Howard's status as a leading historian of the African world is now inarguable."
Africa In the World — The Second Emancipation
"French writes with the elegance you would expect from a distinguished foreign correspondent, and with the passion of someone deeply committed to providing a corrective. This is not a comfortable or comforting read, but it is beautifully done; a masterpiece even."
