The Rebels' Hour - Paperback

by Lieve Joris (Author), Liz Waters (Translator)

Lieve Joris has long been considered "one of the best journalists in the world" (Lib ration, France) and in The Rebels' Hour she illuminates the dark heart of contemporary Congo through the prism of one lonely, complicated man--a rebel leader named Assani who becomes a high-ranking general in the Congolese army. As we navigate the chaos of his lawless country alongside him, the pathologically evasive Assani stands out in relief as a man who is both monstrous and sympathetic, perpetrator and victim.
