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.”

Great book
Revisado: 08-29-24
as a Congolese, I was both happy and shocked to read this book. we have learn a bit in the Congolese school system as children, but it always seemed as half stories. this book truly brings everything together in the most shocking yet accurate way. It took me a while to finish because I would go on a research after almost every chapter. and facts were truly respected, yet written in a very intertwining way. 5 stars

At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town and in the world at large, but she doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her.

Read the book about 8 years ago. I must say, I don't thinki was mate enough then to understand how great this book actually is. From the way it's written/read to the story/ stories. I give it all 5 stars.
