Ambientada en el Congo de 1962, tras el asesinato de Patrice Lumumba, esta novela narra la inestabilidad de un país que lucha por su independencia. La trama sigue a Thomas, un líder revolucionario africano con educación occidental, quien se enfrenta tanto a ejércitos mercenarios belgas como a los intereses mineros en la región de Maniema. Jean Ziegler construye una narrativa intensa sobre la lucha política y la fidelidad a los ideales, donde el protagonista debe navegar entre la estrategia de guerra y su amor por Isabel, pagando finalmente un alto precio por su compromiso con la libertad de su pueblo.
