		'The independence of Congo', announces King Baudouin of Belgium, 'is the result of the undertaking conceived by the genius of King Léopold II'.
		In Belgium the uproar provoked by the book was such that the Belgian parliament was pressured into establishing a commission of inquiry into Belgium's part in Lumumba's death.
		Just as the Belgian King, Léopold II, had legitimised the conquest of the Congo by presenting it as liberating Africans from the hands of Arab slave traders, and colonial exploitation had been justified as a civilising enterprise, so in 1960 the nationalists were destroyed in the name of protecting Africa from Soviet imperialism.
