Dr. Close chronicles the rise of Mobutu, a man of and from the people, a visionary whose culture and unchecked power leads to the economic collapse of a once progressive country. Corruption and greed combined with misdirected international forces take Zaire, transformed from the Congo , from great potential into the misery of chaos. Dr. Close reveals the rewards and frustrations of practicing medicine and attempting to make a difference in the quality of lives without a sugar coated spin.
Parallels in management, economics and the power of driven people can be applied to current world conflicts, organization behavior and individual choices. I am struck, again by the beauty and wisdom of our constitution, its’ authors and the strength of a democratic government that values individual rights and freedoms. The book unveils the reality behind the saying, “Power Corrupts” and the effects of unbridled greed on individuals, organizations, on a culture, a country and the ripple effect of one country's choices throughout the world. Bravo, Dr. Close! ( )
