This highly readable and radical introduction to the Congo covers its turbulent history from the unleashing of King Leopard's fury across the region in the 19th century, to the Western sponsored murder of Patrice Lumumba in 1961 and the war that has ravaged the country since 1997. It pays attention to the importance of economic production for social organization throughout the country's recent history and argues that the nature of global capitalism, far from always leading to modernization, can in fact mean the expansion of private capital accompanied by social collapse. As for the future, the hope is that another politics will emerge from the resistance of ordinary Congolese to imperialist slaughter and the post-independence Mobutu dictatorship.
