! CAUTION !
An actual real history book. Not an alternate history, but so different from the usual fare that it reads like one.

Black Mother - Basil Davidson
How the slave trade looked from inside Africa (south of Sahara). How and why it started, how it affected societies, and why it was so hard to stop. Fascinating stuff. I guarrantee you'll read a lot of things you've never heard about. Best of all, it doesn't read like a typical history book (Dates, kings, and battles). It's much more about cause and effect.
