Description:
'As a narrative of Africa's political trajectory since independence, this book is hard to beat... Elegantly written as well as unerringly accurate' Financial Times
'Meredith has given a spectacularly clear view of the African political jungle' Spectator
'You cannot even begin to understand contemporary African politics if you have not read this fascinating book' Bob Geldof
Africa is forever on our TV screens, but the bad-news stories (famine, genocide, corruption) massively outweigh the good (South Africa). Ever since the process of de-colonialisation began in the mid-1950s, and arguably before, the continent has appeared to be stuck in a process of irreversible decline. Constant war, improper use of natural resources and misappropriation of revenues and aid monies contribute to an impression of a continent beyond hope.
How did we get here? What, if anything, is to be done? Fully revised and updated and weaving together the key stories and characters of the last sixty years into a stunningly compelling and coherent narrative, Martin Meredith has produced the definitive history of how European ideas of how to organise 10,000 different ethnic groups has led to what Tony Blair described as the 'scar on the conscience of the world'. Authoritative, provocative and consistently fascinating, this is the seminal book on one of the most important issues facing the West today.

too soft, useless. but cool, kindah
Set name: UltraCool Pillow, Standard - Medium/Firm Firmness, Item length width: 30.0 Inches
the problem with these "cooling" pillows is any cooling effect is almost completely negated by a pillow case. this particular pillow is cool to the touch, but completely useless as it flattens out completely, way too soft I think for anyone. I would not recommend this "NASA" pillow for anyone for anything. Maybe for 10 bucks, but certainly not what they ask for this. I did keep it though. It is "cool" but only for a moment and your flipping it around like any other pillow. also way too soft. BUt, it has been cool enough to get me back to sleep.

I cannot say enough how happy I am with these pillows. Truly amazing. I put REST pillowcases on them and they are constantly cool/cold.

Love it
Set name: UltraCool Pillow, King - Soft/Medium Firmness, Item length width: 40.0 Inches
I really like this pillow!! It’s a nice medium fluff. I do think it feels cooler. And, when you flip to the “cool side of the pillow” it’s realllly chilly. It’s very long - it sticks out of my king size pillowcase a little bit - but not enough to be bothered by it.

Worth the investment
Size: Standard (Pack of 1), Size: Standard (Pack of 1)
I’ve owned several. I toss them about every 5 years because well I haven’t found a way to wash it and not ruin it. I used to buy it at bed bath & beyond before they closed. And it was the same price there. It’s not memory foam. It’s latex. So if you are allergic- buyer beware. But it has a nice little bouncy- ness to it. Which I love. Cradles my head & neck.
It has a zippered cover on it you can remove & wash. This one seems to have a thin, protective permanent cover thing on it. I assume so you potentially can wash the pillow. May attempt that in a few months.
