Bog beskrivelse
Set in the Congo during the 1960s, this narrative explores the violent aftermath of the country’s independence, a period marked by civil war, political upheaval, and international interference. Written in the third person with names changed for anonymity, the story opens with a foreword outlining the Congo’s descent into chaos, as competing factions—including foreign mercenaries—struggled for control of its vast natural resources and strategic influence. The story follows several key characters: Morgan, a seasoned mercenary conflicted by the moral weight of his actions; Brogan, a ruthless sergeant enforcing discipline with brutality; and Lagache, a Belgian plantation owner driven by revenge for his wife’s death at the hands of rebel leader Kimbiti. As these men navigate ambushes, battles, and personal dilemmas, they embody the larger questions of morality, survival, and humanity during wartime. The climax centers on a brutal assault on the rebel stronghold of Lukamba, involving ground and air forces. The battle is fierce, with heavy losses, leading to a sobering reflection on the futility of war. The story ends without resolution, emphasizing the emotional scars left behind and the enduring complexities of conflict in a fractured nation torn between colonial legacies and Cold War interests.
