We think of Stanley as a cruel imperialist who connived with King Leopold II of Belgium in horrific crimes against the people of the Congo--and the journalist who conducted the most legendary celebrity interview in history, opening with, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" But these perceptions are not quite true, as biographer Jeal shows. With access to previously closed Stanley family archives, Jeal reveals the extent to which Stanley's career and life have been misunderstood and undervalued. Few have started life as disadvantaged as Stanley. Rejected by both parents and consigned to a Welsh workhouse, he emigrated to America as a penniless eighteen-year-old. Jeal re-creates Stanley's rise to success, his friendships and romantic relationships, and his life-changing decision to assume an American identity. Stanley's epic but unfairly forgotten African journeys are described, establishing the explorer as the greatest to set foot on the continent.--From publisher description.

1960, après des années de colonisation, la plupart des pays africains commencent à affirmer et à réclamer leur indépendance. L'Afrique est bouleversée, ingouvernable, les armées et les nouveaux dirigeants sont perdus, tiraillés entre inexpérience et luttes internes. C'est dans ce contexte rendu encore plus difficile par la guerre froide que Larry Devlin, agent de la C.I.A., arrive en Afrique centrale sur le territoire de l'ancien Congo belge. Devlin sera à la fois spectateur et acteur de ces grands bouleversements, il combattra au quotidien pour son pays, pour sa mission mais également pour sa propre survie. Devlin ne nous cache rien : de l'assassinat de Lumumba à l'arrivée au pouvoir de Mobutu en passant par son rôle d'agent secret mais aussi celui des anciens coloniaux, du KGB ou de l'ONU. Véritables révélations d'un des témoins clés de la fin de la colonisation et des machinations internationales qui l'ont entourée, le livre de Larry Devlin est exceptionnel parce qu'il dévoile les coulisses des affrontements de cette époque troublée.
