A fascinating account of a huge Central African country, almost
completely unprepared for liberation from colonial rule in 1960 and
plunged into the anarchy of factional struggles for central power,
against a background of regional separatism. A UN force stepped in
to prevent the mineral-rich province of Katanga from breaking away
and stayed for nearly four years, after which quarrelling warlords
fought for central power, or for or against separatism. In 1965,
Mobutu came to power, ruling as a dictator his Single-Party State,
until he was finally toppled in 1997 by a Tutsi-backed invasion
force led by Kabila.
