About the book

Adam Hochschild's King Leopold's Ghost examines the brutal exploitation of the Congo Free State under the personal rule of Belgium's King Leopold II. The book describes forced labour, violence and enormous loss of life while also following the international campaign that exposed the abuses. It combines colonial history with the story of one of the earliest major human-rights movements.
