For decades, the history of Africa has been told through two inaccurate lenses. The first is the story of an innocent and unwitting native population ruthlessly conquered by racist, selfish, and evil Europeans who only care for profit. The second is the story of a righteous colonizer uplifting heathens by teaching them science, mathematics, and philosophy as if the people had never discovered them. Fortunately, these views could not be further from the truth!

Take a journey with Osei Kwadwo, a renowned Asante historian who tells an unbiased story of the history of the Ashanti and the Gold Coast through the lens of its indigenous people. A journey filled with love, destiny, betrayal, slavery, human sacrifice, genocide, education, and freedom. This untold story will show the truth about Ashanti history, the impacts of British colonization, and its legacy on African, Black, and World history.

This educational and historical book will teach readers about the contributions of the great Asante kings, starting from the reign of Nana Osei Tutu, the nation's founder, to the reign of Nana Opoku Ware II. This book also contains unique narratives from Asante Oral Tradition, never seen colored images, and questions and answers that will provide a solid foundation to dive deeper into West African history. This book is the first of three and is best used for learning and teaching and will give a glimpse into one of the world's most dynamic cultures.

This version is the remastered third edition, with the first edition being published in 1994. This hardcover version includes premium color portraits, quality binding, and an excellent cover that can protect this book for generations to come.
