Publisher's summary

This thoughtful account of Patrice Lumumba provides an insight into why the swift elimination of the legend from the geopolitical developments involving his country plunged Congo into turmoil that it is yet to recover from.

Janvier T. Chando highlights Congo's deep trauma as the private possession of King Leopold of Belgium, later as a Belgian colony, and afterward, as a so-called independent state that got disarrayed by a tug-of-war between the cold war rivals. That resulted in the inhuman dictatorship of pro-Western Mobutu Sese Seko, in wars during which millions of Congolese died, in the impoverishment of the people, in the rape of the country by foreign interests, and in the loss of the sense of direction that the country briefly enjoyed under the leadership of Patrice Lumumba.

The author draws from historical records, other scholarly accounts, and contemporary research in coming up with an analysis of the case of Congo. And he does so in an unequivocal manner.
