This volume analyzes the Congo conflict by looking at the roles played by various states and factors in the conflict. Part I introduces the conflict by showing the historical and regional context of the war. Part II examines those states and groups that worked to support the Kaliba regime Part III examines the rebel groups working to overthrow Kabila and those intervening on their behalf. Part IV looks at the role of supposedly neutral states such as South Africa and looks at the social and economic effects of the war by examining trans state factors such as rebel groups, arms trading, and economic consequences.

Gerhart, Foreign Affairs "...among the few substantial efforts to analyze the foreign policies of the African states in the post Cold War context." - Will Reno, Northwestern University "Fascinating...with very original material... a wonderful book to read." - Peter Schwab, SUNY Purchase "An outstanding analysis of both the local and international dimensions of Africa's 'First World War'... " - Peter J. Schraeder, Loyola University Chicago "...fascinating, revealing insight[s]...a significant benchmark in the study of African politics..." - Joshua Forrest, University of Vermont
