Excerpt from Life and Scenes in Congo Passenger number two was a smart young Scotchman, Mr. J avnes, whose parents were members of the Bap tist Church, Hereford, England. Passenger number three was a colored man, and a native of Gaboon, which is a French possession. He claimed to be a son of the late king of Gaboon, and when asked his name, promptly gave it as Prince Makaga Ndinga. He was a man of Cetewayo's build, Spoke English and French fairly well, and was an interesting com panion. The fourth passenger was a French gentle man, Monsieur de Haut, bound for Libreville, Gaboon. He was a chemist, a lover of natural history, and fond of hunting. Whenever we passed a school of porpoises, he fired excitedly, frequentlv missing, but sometimes wounding the harmless, playful creatures. \vhen, in the Calabar River, he fired at a shark, I was pleased when he tried to hit a crocodile, I was glad; but whv kill or wound the porpoise? \vhenever we passed them, they gave us a free entertainment, dis porting themselves around our steamer, and leaped, or swam, or dived, as though for our especial amuse ment.

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. Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize in 1999, King Leopold’s Ghost is the true and haunting account of this man’s brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. It is also 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.
