Discover the profound insights of the Democratic Republic of Congo with Tom Turner's critically acclaimed book, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2013. This brand new edition (ISBN: 9780745648446) delves into the complex history and ongoing struggles within one of the world's most tumultuous regions. As one of the deadliest conflicts since World War II, the DRC's turmoil is marked by the aftermath of a devastating five-year war that has claimed millions of lives.Turner’s work expertly navigates the intricate narratives surrounding the Congo, addressing how the deep-rooted causes of violence continue to haunt the nation despite recent peace agreements and democratic elections. The author explores varying perspectives on the conflict, from civil war and foreign aggression to the lingering impacts of Rwanda's Hutu-Tutsi tensions. With a deep focus on the prevalence of sexual violence and its classification as a 'hidden war against women,' this book provides a thorough analysis of the ongoing crisis.
This 240-page exploration not only highlights the multiple dimensions of the Congo crisis but also argues that without a comprehensive understanding and consensus on these issues, efforts to rebuild the DRC will remain ineffective. Perfect for readers seeking to comprehend the complexities of the DRC and its future, this book is an essential addition to your collection.

Description:
The Democratic Republic of Congo has become one of the world's
bloodiest hot spots. 2003 saw the end of a five-year war in which
millions lost their lives - one of the deadliest conflicts since
World War II. Despite recent peace agreements and democratic
elections, the country is still plagued by army and militia
violence. Congo remains deeply troubled, since the deep-rooted
causes of conflict have not been adequately addressed.
The conflict in the DRC has divided opinion; some call it a
civil war, or a war of aggression by the country's neighbours;
others a continuation of Rwanda's Hutu-Tutsi conflict on Congolose
soil, and a war of partition and pillage. The prevalence of rape
and sexual violence has led some analysts to mark it out as a
hidden ?war against women'. Tom Turner's insightful book
reveals how each of these descriptions accurately captures the
separate elements of this complex and multidimensional political
conflict. In exploring each of these contributory factors, he shows
how current attempts to rebuild the shattered state and society of
DRC are doomed to fail. So long as the full complexity of the Congo
crisis is not taken into account and a clear consensus as to its
precise dimensions reached, the future looks bleak. The DRC, he
argues, will likely remain a global hot spot for some time to
come.

compact surrounds that blend well with the right setup
Size: 4” Woofer
I picked up the Klipsch R‑40M as part of a full 5.1 system built around the R‑50M fronts and the R‑50C center. My original plan was to use another pair of R‑50M speakers in the back, but they simply didn’t fit in the rear cabinet space I have. The R‑40M ended up being the only model that fit comfortably, so they became my surround channels.
In terms of build quality, they feel solid and consistent with the rest of the Reference Next‑Gen line. The copper woofers and updated horn design give them the same visual identity as the larger models, which helps the whole system look cohesive. They’re compact enough to place in tighter spaces without compromising too much on performance.
Sonically, the R‑40M does a respectable job as a surround speaker. Effects are clear, directional cues are easy to follow, and they integrate smoothly with the more powerful R‑50M fronts. That said, they are noticeably less powerful than the R‑50M, so you need to spend a little time balancing your levels. Once I bumped their channel trim a bit and adjusted the distance settings, the rear soundstage locked in nicely and felt much more even.
They won’t deliver the same fullness or dynamic punch as the larger models, but for rear channels that’s usually not a deal breaker. What matters is clarity and consistency, and the R‑40M handles both well. Movies with active surround mixes feel immersive, and ambient effects wrap around the room without calling attention to the speakers themselves.
If you’re building a system where space is limited in the back, the R‑40M is a practical and capable choice. Just be prepared to fine tune your calibration so they match the output of the bigger speakers up front. Once dialed in, they round out a 5.1 setup very effectively.

Great Bang for the Buck!
Size: 5.25” Woofer
These R50 Studio Monitors are worth every penny. One could easily spend a heck of a lot more to get less. Have been a pro audio engineer my entire life. These monitors kick out clean, solid bass and accurate highs. Klipsch did a excellent job designing these monitors. Perfect for smail spaces where fidelity is critical. If you wall mount these, make sure you leave at least a 1.5 inch air gap between the back of the monitor and the wall. These units are sweet.

Worth the price
Size: 5.25” Woofer
I had in ceiling front speakers and went with these instead. The front ceilings are now height speakers. Sounds great now.
