La chute du léopard

Description
LA CHUTE DU LÉOPARD est un classique de la littérature anglo-saxonne. En 2023, The Economist l'a salué comme l'un des cinq meilleurs livres jamais écrits par des correspondants étrangers.
Michela Wrong, qui a assisté aux derniers jours de Mobutu, retrace l'ascension et la chute du jeune journaliste idéaliste devenu le stéréotype du despote africain. Surnommé le léopard , le président du Congo (ex-Zaïre) a utilisé toutes les ruses pour accéder au pouvoir et y rester pendant trente-deux ans. Il a séduit les puissances occidentales, acheté l'opposition et dominé son peuple avec un mélange dévastateur de brutalité et de charme. Alors que la population était appauvrie, il buvait du champagne dans son palais au milieu de la jungle comme une réincarnation moderne du chef de gare fou de Joseph Conrad.
Bien que Mobutu soit mort en 1997, le diagnostic de Michela Wrong sur son régime prédateur reste pertinent pour comprendre les turbulences actuelles des Grands Lacs africains.
