It was supposed to be a moment of great optimism, a cause for jubilation. The Congo was at last being set free from Belgium—one of seventeen countries to gain independence in 1960 from ruling European powers. At the helm as prime minister was charismatic nationalist Patrice Lumumba. Just days after the handover, however, the Congo’s new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling “the Congo crisis.”

The best book on the Congo crisis.
Revisado: 04-21-25
Reid showcases extensive research and meticulous account of the life of Patrice Lumumba. I had delved into several media based artifacts to learn more about this African hero, yet most of what was available was heavily focused on the Belgian side of the story.
This book is easily (at least to date) the most complete and organized literature you will find about the CIA and American involvement in the Congo crisis.
