In its heyday a century ago, King Leopold鈥檚 Congo was the world鈥檚 biggest
and most brutal slave camp. The Belgian king鈥檚 henchmen used the efficiency of
Europe鈥檚 scientists and industrialists to strip the Congo of ivory and plant it

insouciance. Adam Hochschild鈥檚 King Leopold鈥檚 Ghost reveals that Conrad鈥檚 鈥渉eart
of darkness鈥� was in Europeans all along. Published by Macmillan, 拢22.50,
