Summary: "Despite a massive investment of international diplomacy and money in recent years, the Democratic Republic of Congo remains conflict-ridden and volatile, its present situation the result of a series of rebellions, international interventions and unworkable peace agreements. In Congo's Violent Peace, leading DRC expert Kris Berwouts provides the most comprehensive and in-depth account to date of developments since the so-called Congo Wars--from Rwanda's destructive impact on security in eastern Congo to the controversial elections of 2006 and 2011; from the M23 uprising to Joseph Kabila's increasingly desperate attempts to cling to power."--Page 4 of cover.
