" This book had some really good history on the Congo, the author really does a good job putting his adventure into context. As far as the authors adventure through the Congo, it wasn't as harrowing and edge-of-your-seat exciting as I hoped it might be. Though reality is, if the author had had any closer contact with the mai-mai then he probably would never have lived to finish the book. The book did corroberate the other book I read by Tayler in that they both described a very similar Congo. This book had better history than Tayler's but not as good a story. "
