(Apocalypse Now By Jeremy Taylor ). ''Caribbean Review of Books''. Issue No. 8 - May 2006. Retrieved Jul 9, 2011.〕 Deibert's book on the Democratic Republic of Congo was called "mandatory reading for anyone interested in building lasting peace in the heart of Africa" by the Institute of Development Studies, "a comprehensive first-rate account of the tragedy of Congo...Riveting and brutally honest" by the Free Africa Foundation and "a scrupulously researched reminder of how this corner of the world became so wretched, and of the multiple actors responsible" by ''The Guardian''. In 2012, he was awarded a Small Peace Research Grant by International Peace Research Association in recognition of his work in the Democratic Republic of Congo. ==Books== * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Deibert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
