The modern history of the Congo, the heart of Africa, is a terrifying tale of appalling brutality: how the greedy and incredibly ruthless King Leopold II of Belgium (1935-1909) turned a vast country into his private estate (1885-1908) and how he plundered the land and raped the bodies and souls of its defenceless inhabitants, causing countless victims; and what exactly is the true impact of this often forgotten story of crime and horror today.

My son is reading this book right now for his History class. At 45, I’m still learning so much about the horrors of history. It shapes the way so see everything now. I’m so happy my son is learning the Truth and I’m grateful I get to learn alongside him.
