Dr James Cadett came fresh from the battles in Malaya and the Yemen to work in a Congolese mission. He brought knowledge to some, love to one, fear to many and, ultimately, death to all save himself.

Nicholas Bangassou made history by elevating himself from a Congolese bush village to the exclusive Belgian Officers' School, yet within a few months reverted to leading an army of ignorant tribesman and hemp=crazed children who unleashed rape, murder and mutilation on the land of his birth.
