Více o knize

Focusing on US interventions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, this book delves into the complex historical ties between the two nations. It critiques American efforts to thwart Patrice Lumumba's vision for a democratic Congo and the support for Mobutu's regime to maintain neo-colonial influence. Additionally, it explores the US backing of Paul Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front during the 1990s, while examining broader themes of African development, democracy, genocide, and international relations.
