Abstract

Abstract Had the first prime minister of what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo lived, he might have led the Congolese people to a unified and prosperous nation post-independence. But Patrice Lumumba’s aspirations were cut short by his brutal assassination in late 1960, just months after Congo gained independence from Belgian rule. His death and the enduring impact of it on the Congo’s trajectory are the focus of Reid’s compelling The Lumumba Plot, which exposesthe many egregious errors and sinister efforts of the cia to eliminate Lumumba.
卢蒙巴的遗产和刚果的持久悲剧
摘要 如果现在的刚果民主共和国的第一任总理帕特里斯-卢蒙巴还活着,他可能会领导刚果人民在独立后建立一个统一和繁荣的国家。但是,就在刚果摆脱比利时统治获得独立几个月后,帕特里斯-卢蒙巴于 1960 年底惨遭暗杀,断送了他的愿望。他的死及其对刚果发展轨迹的持久影响是里德引人入胜的《卢蒙巴阴谋》的重点,该书揭露了中央情报局为铲除卢蒙巴而犯下的许多令人震惊的错误和做出的险恶努力。
