The New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A spellbinding work of history that reads like a Cold War spy thrillerabout the U.S.-sanctioned plot to assassinate the democratically elected leader of the newly independent Congo. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, The Economist, Financial Times. "This is one of the best books I have read in years . . . gripping, full of colorful characters, and strange plot twists." Fareed Zakaria, CNN host. It was supposed to be a moment of great optimism, a cause for jubilation. The Congo was at last being set free from Belgiumone of seventeen countries to gain independence in 1960 from ruling European powers. At the helm as prime minister was charismatic nationalist Patrice Lumumba. Just days after the handover, however, the Congo's new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling "the Congo crisis." Dag Hammarskjöld, the tidy Swede serving as UN secretary-general, quickly arranged the organization's biggest peacekeeping mission in history. But chaos was still spreading. Frustrated with the fecklessness of the UN and spurned by the United States, Lumumba then approached the Soviets for helpan appeal that set off alarm bells at the CIA. To forestall the spread of Communism in Africa, the CIA sent word to its station chief in the Congo, Larry Devlin: Lumumba had to go. Within a year, everything would unravel. The CIA plot to murder Lumumba would zzle out, but he would be deposed in a CIA-backed coup, transferred to enemy territory in a CIA-approved operation, and shot dead by Congolese assassins. Hammarskjöld, too, would die, in a mysterious plane crash en route to negotiate a cease- re with the Congo's rebellious southeast. And a young, ambitious military officer named Joseph Mobutu, who had once sworn fealty to Lumumba, would seize power with U.S. help and misrule the country for more than three decades. For the Congolese people, the events of 196061 represented the opening chapter of a long horror story. For the U.S. government, however, they provided a playbook for future interventions.

In den Warenkorb3pp., folio. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Laid out in the customary fashion, with two tax stamps, one embossed and the other in black ink. Signed 'Cardiff' beside a good impression of his seal in red wax. Witnessed by 'L. Dutens' and 'D G Jacmar'. The indenture is 'Between The Right Honourable John Lord Cardiff of Cardiff Castle in the County of Glamorgan of the first Part John Smith of Wilton Gilbert in the County of Durham Gentleman of the second Part and Thomas Shafto of Dunston in the said County of Durham Esquire off the third Part'. It concerns 'All that Tenement or Cottage and Garth situated at Collierly now in the possession of Robert Jackson as Tenant thereof Together with all outhouses Yards Entries Casements WAys Lights Liberties Commodities Hereditaments and Appurtenances to the same belonging or appertaining'. Thomas Shafto was presumably a relation (perhaps the brother?) of the Tory MP Robert Shafto (1732-1797), subject of the nursery rhyme 'Bobby Shafto's gone to sea'.
