book description

It’s about the related conflicts in Rwanda, Burundi and Congo: this was the continent’s largest war, happening from the mid-1990s up to about 2003, involving many African countries, and the result was the largest death toll since the Second World War. Between four and five million died in the eastern Congo from about 1998 to 2003, and what Prunier does is to unpick who is involved, why they were involved and what their real motives were.
