'This volume is especially designed as an introduction to the history Of West Africa for students reading for the West African School Certificate, the East African Certificate of Education and the General Certificate of Education. It is hoped that it will serve as a useful background study to the more advanced histories such as Basil Davidson and F. K. Buah : A History of West Africa, 1000 - 1800 and J. B. Webster and Adu Boahen: The Revolutionary Years: West Africa Since 1800. It is also hoped that it may serve the needs of the general reader interested in an outline of the history of West Africa from the earliest times to the present day.'
