1. Death In The Congo
A tightly argued investigative history that reconstructs the assassination of Patrice Lumumba in the wake of Congo’s 1960 independence, showing how Cold War fears, Belgian colonial interests, local rivals and Western intelligence intersected to plan, execute and conceal his murder. Using archival material and eyewitness accounts, it traces the events in Katanga and Leopoldville, the complicity of Belgian and other foreign actors, and the subsequent cover-up, while assessing the assassination’s profound consequences for Congolese politics, postcolonial justice and international accountability.
