## Description

Review: Very informative. - I never had any interest of African countries but after reading this book I feel like "Saul" from the bible. It seems like the author (Leo) targets both the informed and the uninformed with regards to African matter. I would recommend it to all newbies and advanced readers who are interested in African matters.
Review: A short book about a pivotal figure in Africa - We would all do well to read about the life and times of Lumumba. His vision for an independent African state is inspiring, and his demise is unbearably tragic and shrouded in mystery. If he were a westerner, there would be a dozen full length bios of him published by now. This slim volume will have to do.
