Everyone who's ever used an electronic device should read this.
Easy to read and follow; good little of history for context without being bogged down in dates; very important.

Absolutely brutal; functionally a sequel to King Leopold's Ghost. Yet another tale of horror that may have been avoided had the CIA not involved itself.
