A Brief History of Zambia takes readers on an insightful journey through the rich and diverse history of this southern African nation. From its early human settlements and the rise of powerful indigenous kingdoms such as the Lozi and Bemba to its role in regional trade networks, this book provides a concise yet comprehensive look at Zambia's evolution.

Explore the impact of European exploration, British colonial rule under Northern Rhodesia, and the country's peaceful path to independence in 1964 under the leadership of Kenneth Kaunda. Delve into Zambia's post-independence political landscape, its economic dependence on copper, and its resilience in the face of challenges such as economic crises and democratic transitions. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a traveler, or simply curious about this land of stunning natural wonders, including Victoria Falls and vast wildlife reserves, A Brief History of Zambia offers an engaging and accessible account of its remarkable past and enduring spirit.
