| Publisher Description: In this four-volume work, the West-African state Niger is introduced according as the author found it half a century ago: volume 1 is an introduction and a description of the capital. Volumes 2 to 4 refer to various excursions within Niger. Volume 2 (this book) presents journeys down the river Niger to the frontiers of Benin and Burkina Faso as well as upstream to Mali. This was at a time, before the devastating years of drought swept through the country and the remains were attacked by al-Qaeda and Boko Haram, in such a way that the country is still suffering and is no longer suitable for foreign visitors. |
