Reviews

'The book is well written and a result of extensive research. Without being academic, it provides a wide range of information concerning the country's (sad) history. There is good advice regarding health and language. The chapters cover virtually all the country, even places that the tourist will not visit due to distance.' Registrodelivros 'The Bradt Travel Guide. Democratic Republic Congo is indispensable.' Calgary Herald
