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.”

This is a well told story of CIA misdeeds in an entertaining journalistic style.

Two major shortcomings. First the constant and severe mispronunciation of the name of one of the main protagonists ‘hammer hold” is grating and ignorant. Second, the offhand dismissal of claims of the CIA’s involvement in the death of Hammarskjold is ironic in light of the entire thrust of the book.

Real Italian people don’t speak like your textbook, so it’s no wonder you feel unprepared when it’s your turn to speak! Try the StoryLearning method and dive into a real-world, gripping drama between six characters that helps you learn natural spoken Italian in the process.

The language used is extremely basic, the storyline is so elementary as to be uninteresting, and the voices are really problematic. Other books in the Olly Richards series are good, but this one is a dud.
