Reviews

All the tension and drama that one would expect in a good novel
A history like none other . . . an amazing book
Astonishing . . . Adam Hochschild writes a compelling narrative in lucid prose, one that chronicles a conveniently forgotten atrocity that stains the pages of world history.
With this book, Hochschild, like other historians before him, ensures that King Leopold has not gotten away with his efforts to erase the memory of his brutal acts.
