The author lived seven years in the Congo as a servant of the Belgian government. He fostered deep bonds with the primitive Sonde tribe and gained the full confidence of Kianza, their illiterate tribal chief, who inspired this book. The deep knowledge of the earliest African life is lost forever because those who knew it could not write and those who had learned to write never knew it. Primitive African life is now overshadowed by a brand new "Africa in transition." This development took less than 75 years. Original tribal life in Africa is covered with a handful of stories as told by the chief and his father. The social hierarchy of the tribe, their laws and enforcement, worship and witchcraft, slavery and the role of ghosts, initiation processes into manhood and various secret societies get to the glue that secured the social order of a tribe that was only one step beyond the original hunter-gatherer's way of life.

His father died a short time after Hugo graduated from High School. The author
worked his way through college as a dock worker in Antwerp. After graduating from both the Business and Political Science programs at the Colonial University of Antwerp, he was drafted in the Belgian Air Force, where he became a Lieutenent. As soon as he was discharged, he married and left for the Congo where he served in the Administration for the Belgian Government.
In 1961, after Congo had become independent, he emigrated to the USA with his
wife and daughter. He worked at first as an assembly line worker for Hewlett-Packard,
graduated from UC Berkeley in 1965 with an MBA degree, and found employment in international finance department with several major US companies. In 1980, he started his own management consulting company and obtained important assignments for projects in every continent.
