In 1966, when this book was first published, in French, it received surprisingly little serious attention in the press. This was partly because its striking format (lavishly illustrated and with records of Patrice Lumumba's voice) tended to obscure for some the extent to which it also contained new material and serious research; and partly because to the disappointment of the Belgian press it did not indict specific individuals for the final act of murder.
