Great review. Like most pre-independence leaders in Africa, he was simply not ready or discerning of the enormous task of leading the artificial entity called Congo.

Masterfully crafted review. Ever since I read Martin Meredith's book State of Africa, my view on those early Independence guys has never remained the same.

Thank you for this review once again.
