How could Leopold II, king of the small country of Belgium, manage to convince the Great Powers of Europe to give him the lucrative region of the Congo as his own personal domain? Manipulation, deceit, and political intrigue were not enough. Leopold would need the aid of one of the Great Powers to further his cause. Bismarck, Chancellor of Germany, seemed to be that needed ally. Or was he?

Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize, King Leopold’s Ghost is the true and haunting account of Leopold's brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. With an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver. In the late nineteenth century, when the great powers in Europe were tearing Africa apart and seizing ownership of land for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium took hold of the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. In his devastatingly barbarous colonization of this area, Leopold stole its rubber and ivory, pummelled its people and set up a ruthless regime that would reduce the population by half. While he did all this, he carefully constructed an image of himself as a deeply feeling humanitarian. King Leopold's Ghost is the inspiring and deeply moving account of a handful of missionaries and other idealists who travelled to Africa and unwittingly found themselves in the middle of a gruesome holocaust. Instead of turning away, these brave few chose to stand up against Leopold. Adam Hochschild brings life to this largely untold story and, crucially, casts blame on those responsible for this atrocity. 'All the tension and drama that one would expect in a good novel' - Robert Harris, author of Fatherland

Excerpt from King Leopold II: His Rule in Belgium and the Congo Nothing is more absurd than this theory. In a constitutional monarchy the king's place is well defined, but the king's place is ever that of a ruler, and his first duty is to rule. If he be a weak man his rule will be feeble, if he be a vicious man his mle will be bad but, strong or feeble, a king cannot but fix his imprint on his country, and he it is who himself produces for his reign its result, good, bad, or indifferent, according to his abilities and his will. Whatever the limits of the constitution, it is in evitable that on many, and these the most vital, points of government the king's voice must be most powerful in the councils of his country. The history of the nineteenth century, now Opening to the world, proves that this was so, even when the middle-class power was at its highest; and beside the proof of his tory, common-sense Shows that it must be so, as long as kings remain. In a free country, during a single reign, thousands of politicians, hundreds of ministers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
