The History of Congo:
"Gondola's broad, wide-ranging, and well-documented volume, written clearly and from the perspective of the Congolese people, includes many useful features: current and former names of places, a time line of historical events, biographical notes on Congo's most notable leaders, and a chapter-by-chapter annotated bibliography....[a]n ideal introduction to the study of Congo and an extremely valuable research instrument for anyone interested in the tragic history of this country."-African Studies Review
