| book description |
FINALIST FOR THE CUNDILL PRIZE FOR HISTORY ‘Not only deserves the description “epicâ€, in its true sense, but the term “masterpiece†as well’ Independent This gripping epic tells the story of one of the world’s most critical failed nation-states: the Democratic Republic of Congo. Interweaving his own family’s history with the voices of a diverse range of individuals – charismatic dictators, feuding warlords, child soldiers, and many in the African diaspora of Europe and China – Van Reybrouck offers a deeply humane approach to political history, focusing squarely on the Congolese perspective and returning a nation’s history to its people.
