"Congo, a history" (original title: Congo, een geschiedenis), from David Van Reybrouck. Not sure if it's already translated in English, but if not, it most likely will be.

The book won a few awards and received excellent reviews, but a few Belgian experts on Congo had some pretty harsh critique on the book. That's why I intend to read the following books after I've finished Van Reybrouck's easy-to-read and not at all boring book:

"The assassination of Lumumba" (original title: De moord op Lumumba) by Ludo De Witte (this one should be very interesting, since it prompted the creation of a Parliamentary commission in Belgium more than 30 years after the facts, to investigate the assassination of Lumumba and the involvment of Belgian authorities).
"King Leopold's Ghost", by Adam Hochschild (read it a few years ago, but will read it again now that I'm in a "Congo-mood"; it's a book that got some criticism as well)
"Rood rubber", by Daniël Van Groenweghe (I don't think it has been translated into English, but I believe there's a French translation "Du Sang sur les Lianes. Léopold II et son Congo."
