More about the book
Focusing on US interventions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, this book explores the historical impact of American foreign policy in these intertwined nations. It details efforts to thwart Patrice Lumumba's vision for a democratic Congo, the support for Mobutu's regime to maintain neo-colonial control, and the backing of Paul Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front as a means to undermine multiparty democracy in the 1990s. The narrative also delves into broader themes of African development, democracy, genocide, and international politics.
