Summary:

"In 1998, war broke out in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Within weeks six other countries had been drawn into the conflict and scores of militias had sprung up in a battle for resources and regional power. By May 2003 most foreign troops had been withdrawn but dozens of militias remained. Countless millions of people have been displaced, denied an education or access to health care. As many as four million people have lost their lives."--Opening frames.
