Most folks know little about ancient African nations. Therefore, this series of books by Captivating History provides a valuable service. The author also shows how different cultures borrowed from each other to enhance their civilization. This particular book shows how vital trade was for a nation's livelihood. This book gives a well-rounded view of these ancient cultures, including Kerma, Egypt, Kush, Carthage, Roman North Africa, and Ghana. Then, this book delves into their society and famous rulers, their culture and art, and finally, their myths and religion.

After each chapter, there are activities offered to cement the knowledge provided. I think this series of books is excellent for homeschoolers.
