For more than three decades, eastern Congo has endured one of the world's deadliest conflicts. Millions have died, millions more have been displaced, and generations have grown up surrounded by violence while the region's extraordinary mineral wealth has fueled global industries. The Blood Business examines the human cost of this conflict, the geopolitical interests surrounding it, and recent diplomatic efforts to achieve peace, including the June 27 peace agreement involving the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and the United States. The book explores competing international interests, the challenges facing peace initiatives, and the question that has echoed across generations: Who benefits when war never ends?

Combining history, political analysis, and a call for justice, Joseph Habimana Ngoma invites readers to consider whether lasting peace is finally possible for Congo, and what the world must do to help make it a reality. This approach makes the book stronger because it focuses on documented events and evidence while allowing you to present your own conclusions. That not only increases the book's credibility but also reduces legal risk when discussing governments, organizations, and public figures.
