For too long, Africa’s history has been neglected. Dominated by western narratives of slavery and colonialism, its past has been fragmented, overlooked and denied its rightful place in our global story. Now, Zeinab Badawi guides us through Africa’s spectacular history, from the origins of humanity, through ancient civilisations and medieval empires with powerful queens and kings, to the miseries of conquest and the elation of independence. Seeking out occluded histories from across the continent, meeting with countless historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and local storytellers, and travelling through more than thirty countries, Badawi weaves together a fascinating new account of Africa: an epic, sweeping history of the oldest inhabited continent on the planet, told through the voices of Africans themselves.

People have betrayed their country, or their friends, for all kinds of different reasons – and often a traitor to one person is a friend to another, especially as those found guilty of treason have historically faced only one penalty – death. Betrayal for money is perhaps the most despicable level of treachery – not for nothing is the term ‘Judas’ applied with such contempt; others have earned the mark of treason for rebelling against established authority. The stories in ‘Traitors’ range from a British seaman in the Second World War who sold information to the Nazis for a pittance, to the White Rose gang’s defiant campaign against Hitler; from the recusant terrorism of Guy Fawkes, to the abolitionist fury of John Brown; from the unwitting treason of Lady Jane Grey, to the deadly perfidy of Mata Hari.
