The revolutions, rebellions, mutinies, coup d'état, and economic disasters that marked the first fifteen years of the country's independence are the subject of Beyond the Storm. The book will help the reader understand the present crisis and threatening storms as the country heads toward elections. Dr. Close's point of view is that of a physician intimately involved with the people and the leaders of the Congo/Zaire during the fourteen years after the country's independence. Today, the situation is so critical that it provided the cover story for the June 5, 2006 issue of TIME magazine. ["The Deadliest War In The World. Simmering conflict in Congo has killed 4 million people since 1998, yet few choose to cover the story. TIME looks at a forgotten nation and what's needed to prevent the deaths of millions more."]
