I recently read the book, "Poisonwood Bible", and I wanted to find information about the Congo's first Prime Minister. I found a lot of interesting information about Patrice Lumumba, the Prime Minister. The story of his rise to power and his assassination is both impressive and sad. I don't know whether or not this is completely factual, but I would hope that the majority of it is true.
I loved that book too and I agree, that story made that time and place come alive!
ReplyDeleteLoved that book. I read it a million years ago. I should read it again.
