qbit99's review against another edition

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to have read this book. I did not rush through it; i took my time to digest, the material, understand how it explained where this country-my country-is today.
The History course we get from school barely scratches the surface and it highly depend on how well motivated that particular teacher is, this book goes much much deeper so it was like i was discovering my country's history for the first time.
So, thank you Mr David for such amazing work. I hope this book inspires us to be better Congolese than what we've been so far.

De la préhistoire aux premiers chasseurs d’esclaves, du voyage de Stanley missionné par Léopold II à la décolonisation, de l’arrivée de Mobutu puis de Kabila à l’implantation industrielle d’une importante communauté chinoise, ce livre retrace, analyse, conte et raconte quatre-vingt-dix mille ans d’histoire : l'histoire du Congo, cet immense territoire africain au destin violenté.

Een fascinerend boek over de geschiedenis in Congo. Geschreven in een pakkende stijl zodat je vooral wil doorlezen. Het geeft een kijkje in de voortslepende en vooral complexe situaties waarin Congo zich bevond en nog steeds bevind.
