Africa has an interesting history and rich cultural traditions. Though relatively fewer novelists have chosen to write about its history, those that have include Nobel prizewinner Naguib Mahfouz and bestselling authors James A. Michener, M.M. Kaye and Wilbur Smith, as well as lesser known authors who deserve to be more widely read.

Egypt is an ancient culture (see Ancient History for novels set in the time of the pharaohs), and the entire southern Mediterranean coast has a history that stretches back to the Roman Empire. The influx of Dutch into South Africa during the seventeenth century ushered in centuries of conflict between natives and white settlers, known as Afrikaners. Other nations, including Germany and England, colonized other parts of the continent, leading to similar conflicts as well as conflicts between the English and Germans during World Wars I and II.

Novels of warfare written primarily from the perspective of European soldiers are listed on the various pages for novels with European settings.
