Publisher's Synopsis

Discover an ancient city of great wealth in West Africa. Islamic scholars once flocked to Timbuktu's universities, and Arab traders sought its riches. You'll learn how the city became an important hub for many West African empires. And see how invasions and the development of new trade routes weakened Timbuktu, until it became the stuff of legend.
