Name:	Congo Wars: Conflict, Myth & Reality
Product Code:	9781842776896
Description:	By Thomas Turner
Product Detail:	Since 1996 war has raged in the Congo while the world has looked away. Waves of armed conflict and atrocities against civilians have resulted in over three million casualties, making this one of the bloodiest yet least understood conflicts of recent times. In The Congo Wars, Thomas Turner provides the first in-depth analysis of what happened. The book describes a resource-rich region, suffering from years of deprivation and still profoundly affected by the shockwaves of the Rwandan genocide. Turner looks at successive misguided and self-interested interventions by other African powers, including Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia, as well as the impotence of United Nations troops. Cutting through the historical myths so often used to explain the devastation, Turner indicates the changes required of Congolese leaders, neighboring African states and the international community to bring about lasting peace and security.
