The Congo Wars

Conflict, Myth and Reality

Beschreibung

With the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide exercising its shockwaves, and United Nations troops in position, but apparently powerless to secure the lives of ordinary citizens, this book sheds light on the interventions of other African powers in the region and cuts through the historical myths that people in the region and beyond resort to.
