David van Reybrouck
FINALIST FOR THE CUNDILL PRIZE FOR HISTORY
‘Not only deserves the description epic , in its true sense, but the term masterpiece as well’ Independent
This gripping epic tells the story of one of the world’s most critical failed nation-states: the Democratic Republic of Congo. Interweaving his own family’s history with the voices of a diverse range of individuals - charismatic dictators, feuding warlords, child soldiers, and many in the African diaspora of Europe and China - Van Reybrouck offers a deeply humane approach to political history, focusing squarely on the Congolese perspective and returning a nation’s history to its people.
