Fifty years later, the murky circumstances and tragic symbolism of Patrice Lumumba’s assassination trouble many people around the world. Emmanuel Gerard and Bruce Kuklick reveal a tangled web of international politics in which many people—black and white, well-meaning and ruthless, African, European, and American—bear responsibility for this crime.

This thoughtful account of Patrice Lumumba finds that the swift elimination of the legend from the geopolitical developments involving his country plunged Congo into a turmoil that it is yet to recover from.Janvier T. Chando gives shape to Congo's deep trauma as the private possession of King Leopold of Belgium, later as a Belgian colony and afterwards as a so-called independent state wretched 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 country's loss of the sense of direction it had under the leadership of Patrice Lumumba.The author draws from historical records, other scholarly accounts, and on contemporary research in coming up with an analyst of the case for Congo. And he does so in an unequivocal manner.

"In December 2009, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a Ugandan rebel group, carried out a devastating four-day attack in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo killing at least 321 civilians and abducting more than 250, including some 80 children. The well-planned attack in the Makombo area, Haut Uele district, was one of the largest single massacres in the LRA's 23-year history. The vast majority of those killed were adult men who were first tied up before LRA combatants hacked them to death with machetes or crushed their skulls with axes or heavy wooden sticks. Trail of Death: LRA Atrocities in Northeastern Congo is based on an eight-day research mission to Haut Uele district in February 2010 and more than 128 interviews with victims, eyewitnesses, and government and United Nations officials. Despite the enormous civilian death toll, the attack in the Makombo area made no headlines. This report is the first detailed documentation of the massacre and other atrocities committed by the LRA in Congo in 2009 and early 2010. These atrocities follow a longstanding practice of horrific attacks by the LRA in four countries in the central African region: Uganda, southern Sudan, Central African Republic, and Congo. Publicly, the governments of Uganda and Congo maintain that the LRA is no longer a serious threat in Congo following joint military operations launched by their armies against the rebels. While military operations may have weakened and dispersed the group, this report illustrates that the LRA's ability to attack and abduct civilians in Congo remains intact. Human Rights Watch calls for the region's governments and the international community to develop a comprehensive regional strategy to resolve the LRA threat, with a focus on protecting civilians from further attacks, rescuing abducted persons, and apprehending LRA leaders."--P.

In Pointe-Noire, in the small neighbourhood of Voungou, on the family plot where young Michel lives with Maman Pauline and Papa Roger, life goes on. But Michel's everyday cares - lost grocery money, the whims of his parents' moods, their neighbours' squabbling, his endless daydreaming - are soon swept away by the wind of history. In March 1977, just before the arrival of the short rainy season, Comrade President Marien Ngouabi is brutally murdered in Brazzaville, and not even naïve Michel can remain untouched. Starting as a tender, wry portrait of an ordinary Congolese family, Alain Mabanckou quickly expands the scope of his story into a powerful examination of colonialism, decolonization and dead ends of the African continent. At a stroke Michel learns the realities of life - and how much must change for everything to stay the same.

Lauded for his ability to tell compelling, true adventure stories, award-winning author Andrew C.A. Jampoler has turned his attention this time to a young American naval officer on a mission up the Congo River in May 1885. Lt. Emory Taunt was ordered to explore as much of the river as possible and report on opportunities for Americans in the potentially rich African marketplace. A little more than five years later, Taunt, 39, was buried near the place he had first come ashore in Africa. His personal demons and the Congo's lethal fevers had killed him. In 2011, to better understand what happened, Jampoler retraced Taunt's expedition in an outboard motorboat. Striking photographs from the author's trip are included to lend a visual dimension to the original journey. Readers join Taunt in his exploration of some 1400 miles of river and follow him on two additional assignments. A commercial venture to collect elephant ivory in the river's great basin and an appointment as the U.S. State Department's first resident diplomat in Boma, capital of King Leopold II's Congo Free State, are filled with promise. But instead of becoming rich and famous, he died alone, bankrupt, and disgraced. Jampoler's account of what went so dreadfully wrong is both thrilling and tragic. He provides not only a fascinating look at Taunt's brief and extraordinary life, but also a glimpse of the role the United States played in the birth of the Congo nation, and the increasingly awkward position Washington found itself as stories of atrocities against the natives began to leak out.
