Description and Table of Contents
Description
Brimming with a splendid assortment of extraordinary facts, unexpected connections, interesting and frequently hilarious anecdotes. It is rich in human character and indeed tells us far more about history than those who have a blinkered prejudice against 'genealogy' may realise.
Table of Contents
Covering Africa and the Middle East, regions vitally significant in the modern political and economic context, this reference text is alphabetically arranged from Aden to Zululand. It describes the dramatic events which have plagued the royal houses in countries such as Iran and Ethiopia. The selection of the African royal houses has been limited to those families which are of relevance to the history of the continent as a whole.
