On African studies, one of lesser known topics is Congo-Brazzaville, "Republic of Congo." Though dwarfed by its eastern neighbor Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa), ROC has a distinct identity and unique history. Aligned with the USSR during the Cold War, the country now is entirely open to other contacts, and in summer of 2018 welcomed the installation of a Voice of America transmitting tower in its capital. This book is a series of recollections of the Brazzaville the author new during the Cold War, and the contrasting attributes he found in 2018.
