I am guessing the author did a lot of research to put the book together. And, that most of the facts are correct. But the author made the claim that President Kennedy was in on the CIA scheme to assassinate Lumumba, which is incorrect. There has been so much written about Kennedy, the Kennedy Administration, and the Kennedy assassination that I think it would have been easy to cite the relationship accurately. I, no doubt, am convinced that the mining situation in the Congo is as described, I just wonder how many more errors the author published that I was not able to catch. There is a famous photo of President Kennedy with the phone to his ear, with his head in his hand, and his face in total anguish. That photo captured the moment Kennedy learned of Lumumba’s assassination.
