"The sufferings of which the picture was given to the world in Uncle Tom's Cabin, are as nothing to those which Mr. Morel represents to be the habitual accompaniments of the acquisition of rubber and ivory by the Belgian companies." - Times.
"Another feature of Mr. Morel's book is a tremendous attack on the Congo Free State." - Spectator.
"Neither the author's language in denouncing this system, nor his condemnation of King Leopold is one whit too strong." - Speaker.
"A terrible indictment of the Congo State." - Morning Post.
"We know of no author who displays a more intimate knowledge of the European side of the Congo scandal." - Glasgow Herald.
"Mr. Morel's work depicts at length the abuses committed by the Congo State, which have, in part, been juridically confirmed already." - Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.
"The chapters of Mr. Morel's book which will cause the greatest sensation are those which the author devotes to the Congo State. If the movement against the Congo State succeeds in its object, the author will certainly be able to claim to have powerfully contributed to its success." - Bulletin du Comité de l'Afrique Française.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the brutal realities of colonial rule in the Congo Free State during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author meticulously exposes the exploitative system of land appropriation and forced labor that King Leopold II implemented, laying bare the devastating consequences for the Congolese people. Drawing from firsthand accounts and official documents, the author paints a vivid picture of a regime built on the systematic denial of basic human rights, driven by greed for rubber and ivory. The book provides a chilling look at the barbarity of this colonial enterprise, as well as an insightful analysis of the political and economic forces that fueled it. The author's detailed examination of the Congo Free State's policies and their devastating consequences places this work within a broader historical context of colonial exploitation and the struggle for human rights. The book serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of colonialism and the importance of understanding the dark side of European expansion into Africa. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
