"If they in Africa can do so much with so little,
Why are we doing so little with so much?"

From the preface:
"Africa is not a fact. It is an experience. Africa is something you must feel. Like compassion felt for a hobbling child learning to walk. Like the awesome ecstasy of watching a rolling tide. Like the shock of seeing a giant in the doorway. For a Giant has stepped from the shadows of millenia in darkness to challenge the world. A Giant of many moods: threatening, laughing, weeping, arrogant, pleading, and especially, demanding, refusing to be ignored by the twentieth century. This is the Giant I want you to know; the Africa that facts and statistics alone cannot portray"
