Patrice Lumumba (1925-61) is perhaps the most famous leader of the
African independence movement. After his execution in 1961, when he
had been prime minister of the newly-liberated Congo for only seven
months, he became an icon of anti-imperialist struggle. As the news
came out, his picture was brandished in demonstrations in capitals
around the world, along with Che Guevara and Mao Zedong. His life
and the independence that he sought for the Congo made him a
pivotal figure of the 20th century, highlighting ongoing Western
colonialism and the problematic nature of the independence granted
to huge swathes of the globe after 1945. In this book, revised and
updated to include new thinking on the Congo crisis and
incorporating material recently released from British intelligence
archives, Leo Zeilig tells the story of the Congo in the dying days
of colonialism, and of Lumumba's transition from nationalist to
revolutionary to international symbol of African liberation.
