Description

From the beginnings of the slave trade thru colonization, the struggle for independence, Mobutu’s brutal three decades of rule, and the civil war that has raged from 1996 to the current day, Congo: The Epic History of a People traces the history of one of the crucial devastated nations on the planet. Esteemed scholar David Van Reybrouck balances hundreds of interviews with a various range of Congolese with meticulous historical analysis to construct a multidimensional portrait of a nation and its other people.

Epic in scope yet eminently readable, both penetrating and deeply moving, Congo—a finalist for the Cundill Prize—takes a deeply humane solution to political history, focusing squarely at the Congolese point of view, and returns a nation’s history to its other people.
