Lynn Heinzerling spent almost four years in Africa reporting on nationalism. He covered Congo independence celebrations in June and July and observed Patrice Lumumba and his associates ascend to power.
In a stark assessment of Congo's future, Lynn Heinzerling argues the Congo's tribal diversity and weak centralized authority render it resistant to communist subversion. He dismisses Gizenga and Kasavubu as inadequate puppet figures and notes Belgium's colonial ploys, copper and diamond wealth, and vast tribal loyalties as barriers to Soviet influence. Lumumba's rise is traced to his oratorical skill and political savvy, not a clear mandate.
