Honestly, I'm pretty upset about this book. I question the author's journalistic ethics. It felt exploitative, dehumanizing, and self-congratulatory. That said, I'm rating it generously because I knew very little about the DRC before and it at least inspired me to educate myself. I just plan to use more reliable and decolonized sources in future.
