Thanks to new, previously unpublished archives of Kasa-Vubu, his daughter Justine, former minister and ambassador and president of the Congolese diaspora, shares with the reader personal booklets that are tangible evidence of the values and spirit that animated this personality, from his earliest years to his charismatic political leadership.

This account definitively makes Kasa-Vubu the Father of Congolese Independence. With the turning of the pages, the reader can appreciate the qualities that made this great man the first president of the Republic of Congo.

In her own inimitable style, Justine Kasa-Vubu describes her father’s personal and political journey with panache and historical accuracy.

An indispensable biography for understanding Congo, it reads like a novel.
