Ancient Ghana And Mali by Nehemia Levtzion

Despite the wealth of information provided here, the book is ultimately let down by its conceptual approach: It is almost impossible to make sense of the first part (essentially a very wordy timeline) without the contextual information only provided in the second half. Integrating the two might have been more fruitful.

Unfortunately, the narrative momentum hits a wall after the first act.
Perhaps this will speak to me more at some other point in my life.
