The History of Nations has a nice collection of African national histories up at History of Nations - Africa. A few of these are out-of-date by a few years. Others concentrate too much on recent history while neglecting most of the past. As a whole though, this is a good list with some good histories in it for anyone looking for some "Cliff Notes" on the history of an African nation.
