More than 50 years later the murky circumstances and tragic symbolism of Patrice Lumumba's assassination trouble people around the world. Emmanuel Gerard and Bruce Kuklick reveal a tangled web of international politics in which many people--black and white, well-meaning or ruthless, African, European, and American--bear responsibility for this crime.
