In the late nineteenth century, as the European powers were carving up
Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium carried out a brutal plundering of the
territory surrounding the Congo River. Ultimately slashing the area’s
population by ten million, he still managed to shrewdly cultivate his
reputation as a great humanitarian. A tale far richer than any novelist could
invent, King Leopold’s Ghost is the horrifying account of a megalomaniac of
monstrous proportions. It is also the deeply moving portrait of those who
defied Leopold: African rebel leaders who fought against hopeless odds and
a brave handful of missionaries, travelers, and young idealists who went to
Africa for work or adventure but unexpectedly found themselves witnesses to
a holocaust and participants in the twentieth century’s first great human
rights movement.
