Title: The troubled heart of Africa
First published: 2002
Description: "The Troubled Heart of Africa is the first book to give a complete history of the Congo, filling in the blanks before the advent of Henry Stanley, David Livingstone, King Leopold, and other figures, and carrying us straight into today's headlines. The Congo continues to be the subject of intense speculation and concern, and with good reason: upon it hangs the fate of sub-Sahara Africa as a whole.

Here is a book that helps us face the stark truths of the Congo's past and appreciate both the enormous potential and uncertainty of its future."--BOOK JACKET.
