As an american who resides in Madagascar, this is my favorite book., Jan 3 2009
By Shawn P. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A History of Madagascar (Paperback)
I have been living in Madagascar for the last four years. I have read this book cover to cover three times and page through it at least once a month. It is an incredibly dense book that seems to magically sprout new facts and information each time I open it.The book is a must have for anyone living, working, or visiting madagascar. You will never see the country and it's people the same way after reading this. If you think the Malagasy are an impoverished people victimized by french oppression and unfortunate circumstances, or if you think that they are just another african people will typical african problems, you will change your mind after reading this book. The history of Madagascar is exciting, strange, inspiring, and fantastic. I only wish that it could be translated into Malagasy and taught in schools as many of the facts contained in it are completely unknown to most Malagasy.

Fantastic Insight, Sep 19 2009
By Jaime Pozuelo Monfort - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A History of Madagascar (Paperback)
Mervyn Brown's superb book left me blown away by the detailed history full of color. I now understand better the current reality of Malagasy politics.The History of Madagascar is a book that inspired some of the writing of my forthcoming book THE MONFORT PLAN. Mervyn is a real insider and an unbiased agent able to assess with independence the reality of the world's fourth largest island with a historical perspective unchallenged thus far. A must read for anybody interested in Madagascar.
