Africa's World War: Congo, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Making of a Continental Catastrophe
Description
This authoritative history examines how the 1994 Rwandan genocide ignited a chain of conflicts that engulfed the Democratic Republic of the Congo and drew in armies, governments, and armed movements from across Africa. Tracing the region’s colonial legacy, ethnic tensions, political upheavals, and competition over power and resources, it reveals how local crises became a devastating continental war. With detailed research and wide-ranging perspective, the book explores the human and geopolitical consequences of violence while illuminating the complex forces that shaped modern Central Africa.
