"At the time of the Congo controversy a hundred years ago, the idea of full human rights, political, social, and economic, was a profound threat to the established order of most countries on earth. It still is today."

I don't think you can properly rate history books like this. It is well written and a must read for everyone who wants to learn how the world was made and still works today. Very sad and depressing but we already knew that before reading didnt we. (Now I'm onto The Lumumba Plot and Cobalt Red)
