I knew the story of Leopold and the Congo, but only its vague outlines. This book fills in the image in a horribly vivid fashion. Extensively researched and well-written, it made me queasy with the kinds of things people are able to do to each other, and depressed that I never really disbelieved that we were capable of it.
