'A brilliant account of Africa's most extraordinary dictator . . . This book will become a classic.' Economist
A sparkling account of the rise and fall of Mobutu Sese Seko, the charismatic dictator who plundered his country's wealth and indulged a passion for pink champagne, gold jewellery and chartered Concordes. Absurdity, anarchy and corruption run riot in Michela Wrong's fascinating dissection of the Congo; a story of grim comedy amidst the apocalypse and a celebration of the sheer indestructibility of the human spirit.
