- "The day that the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo voted, on 30 July 2006, marked the most significant election held in Africa since the 1994 balloting in South Africa at the end of that nation's apartheid regime. Like South Africans, Congolese voted in their millions, walking up to 50 kilometres each way to the polling stations. The election brought to a close 130 years of foreign invasions, colonialism, exploitation of vast mineral wealth, dictatorship and the consequences of two recent wars that cost 4.3 million lives in just over five years, the most deadly conflict since World War II. Few in the rest of the world were aware of these conditions. The western media largely ignored this region, while the international community and the African contintent seemed helpless to stop the destruction. Civilians, especially women and children, made up the majority of victims". -- back cover.

Drawing on the biblical tradition and church history ... [he] shows how the idea of forgiveness has been distorted, abused and largely lost, and why it is of ultimate importance to reclaim this healing art, not only in personal relations but especially also in the relations between nations and peoples. He devotes one chapter to a careful analysis of the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up after the end of apartheid in South Africa and its relevance to many other situations of deeply rooted hostility and conflict in the world today" -- back cover.
