Great Lakes Holocaust - First Congo War, 1996-1997 - Cooper, Tom

Great Lakes Holocaust is the first in two volumes covering military operations in Zaire as the Congo was named from 1971 until 1997 and the Democratic Republic of Congo at the turn of the 21st century. This volume explores the events of the 1980s and 1990s in Rwanda and Uganda, which eventually spilled over the borders into Zaire, resulting in one of the worst tragedies ever to befall an African region. The narrative traces the ascent of crucial Rwandan, Congolese and Ugandan military and political figures, and their connections within influential business and political circles in and outside Africa.
