Title: In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz
Product review: A strong account of a man and his times which provides rare insight into the most successful of a generation of african despots. Learning about Mobutu and his circumstances fills a gap in our understanding of contemporary Africa. In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz did leave me a little bit unsatisfied. I was looking for either a more dramatic narrative to keep me engaged or else a more broad and structured presentation of facts. I would recommend this book to someone interested in the Congo and Africa.
