1.King Leopold s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial AfricaKing Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa
from Mariner Books
Price: $7.50

Customer Review:
Almost all of us have forgotten that what we are taught in school is very censored and sterilized. The heroes are chosen not for what they did but for what our leaders would like us to see and think. This goes on everywhere whether you are in the United States or the Union of Soviet Socialist... more info

2.In the Footsteps of Mr KurtzIn the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz
from Fourth Estate Ltd
Price: $7.69

Customer Review:
In The Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz follows the history of Mobutu Sese Seko, president of Zaire. The Mr. Kurtz in the title is, of course, Joseph Conrad's character from The Heart Of Darkness; a European who came to conquer the African Congo but instead found failure and madness.Mobutu was a young scholar... more info

3.Chief of Station, Congo: Fighting the Cold War in a Hot ZoneChief of Station, Congo: Fighting the Cold War in a Hot Zone
from PublicAffairs
Price: $1.61

Customer Review:
Anyone who has spent as much time in Africa as Devlin did, especially in the early 60's as the colonial powers departed has a lot to talk about. Devlin does a good job going back nearly a half century to give us a much better feeling about how the richest continent on Earth in mineral wealth is also... more info

4.The Forest PeopleThe Forest People
from Touchstone
Price: $5.75

Customer Review:
These pygmees live in northeastern Congo. It is now a nature reserve, but war, gold mining, and migration obviously means that their lifestyle is doomed. But in 2010 it is still there. The book is an anthropological study, but more so, I would say, a easy read about a fascinating people.
There... more info

5.The Congo Wars: Conflict, Myth and RealityThe Congo Wars: Conflict, Myth and Reality
from Zed Books
Price: $20.94

Customer Review:
The Congo crises of the late 20th Century contributed to the death of perhaps four million people, and yet the literature on these conflicts and their causes is sparse and generally undistinguished.
Turner's book reflects a real mastery of Central African history and politics, and he takes an... more info

6.Congo MercenaryCongo Mercenary
from Paladin Press
Price: $19.59

Customer Review:
To make it short, I would say that if the life of a mercenary soldier interests you, you will like this book. If that subject never held your interest and you are just looking for something to read, you will probably be bored.
But in any case, I enjoyed reading the book even though the subject... more info

7.The African Dream: The diaries of the Revolutionary War in the CongoThe African Dream: The diaries of the Revolutionary War in the Congo
from Grove Press
Price: $7.50

Customer Review:
President Obama's "Che" seems to feel our president's African lineage is a disability. As in one of the other reviews, this tome reads like a comedy and slaps the collective, "pun intended," faces of liberals, socialists, Marxists and revolutionaries et.al. every where. Their hero it turns out... more info

9.Mean and Lowly Things: Snakes, Science, and Survival in the CongoMean and Lowly Things: Snakes, Science, and Survival in the Congo
from Harvard University Press
Price: $17.18

Customer Review:
Great read no it may not have all the high-risk herps that some demand but real field work seldom does unless you are studying a hot species. I found the dealing's with the people in Africa to be so classic "first time in Africa I don't understand the culture mistakes" were a plenty. I look forward... more info
