Description
The Pottery Barn Rules may well be the most controversial book ever written about the collapse of Africa. Written from the perspective of a Washington D.C. based, Emmy Award winning, investigative reporter, the book examines the guns, greed and genocide that have plagued the African continent. Because the author is also an African American, it is personal, especially when he learns the plot to assassinate Patrice Lumumba of the Congo was secretly launched on the day of his birth.
The Pottery Barn Rules points an indicting finger at the the power elite to control Africa because of its vast natural resources, its gold, diamonds and especially its oil. For the first time ever the book also examines the role that racism inside the White House and other U.S. Government agencies may have played in the collapse of an entire continent.
The Pottery Barn Rules is the result of an over 3 year investigation. It involves thousands of pages of Top Secret documents, and hundreds of once classified films and recordings. Using words secretly recorded inside the Oval Office, the Pottery Barn Rules is an in depth probe into the countless coups, secret weapons shipments, and policies that that destabilized the African continent. From the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, to the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela, the Pottery Barn Rules takes the reader on a clandestine thrill ride inside the archives of the White House, the CIA, and the United States Army, where you will come face to face with the people who ordered the hits and pulled the triggers.
The Pottery Barn Rules takes its name from the caution Former Secretary of State Colin Powell gave to President George W. Bush, before the invasion of Iraq. He warned that the U.S. would be responsible for the lives of 25 million Iraqi people, and quoted what is generally regarded as the Pottery Barn Rule, you break it you own it.
The Pottery Barn Rules is a compelling story of what happens when an African American journalist leans the continent of his birth secretly declared war on the continent of his ancestors. Africa, the author chronicles, was no accident. Haunted by the deaths of 22 million Africans in his lifetime, he concludes, We broke it! We own it.
