Musa I or Mansa Musa was the 10th Mansa (“Sultan” or "emperor") of the affluent West African Islamic Mali Empire. The Mali Empire had access to a significant surplus of gold sources at a time when gold was in high demand. Musa conquered more than 20 major cities in his lifetime and expanded the Mali Empire more than triple in size. This book is a well-researched biography of Mansa Musa and an exotic tale of gold, glory, and adventure. P. James Oliver has enhanced this book by a liberal sprinkling of enjoyable drawings, clear and helpful maps, and spellbinding photos.
