The African Holocaust was a devastating event in African history. The total cost in human lives will never be known, although some estimates place the number of causalities above 100 million. The economic cost has also been just as devastating. This purpose of this book is to provide a historical overview of the devastation of the African Holocaust, as well as a look at the various ways in which Europeans have profited economically from that very Holocaust. At the end of the 500 years of slavery, Europeans had emerged out of their collective state of stagnation and Africans were collectively left as a broken people.
