Endless Tragedy,
By Ruth Nelson (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Congo-Zaire Experience, 1960-98 (Hardcover)
Edgar O'Ballance gives an even-handed account of the tragic history of the Congo from its independence to 1998. Talk about a country that never got a break - from Belgian colonizers, cold-war intrigues, tribal rivalries, mercenaries and despots. As a journalist who has covered the country since 1960 and has interviewed a number of the major power-brokers, O'Ballance leads the reader through the timeline in detail and depth - though maybe more than a newcomer to the subject can initially grasp. This is an especially timely piece for anyone who wants to understand not only the complexities of the current war in the Congo, but also the troubles in neighboring countries, Rwanda and Burundi.
