With respect to Lumumba, I would like to recommend to one and all the novel, _The Poisonwood Bible_, by Barbara Kingsolver. It deals with the events in Congo/Zaire at the time of independence and especially the role of the CIA in the death of Lumumba. It is one of those novels that comes with a bibliography and the author lived in the Congo during that period.
