Overview
Civilization In Congoland: A Story Of International Wrongdoing is a book written by H.R. Fox Bourne that delves into the history of the Congo Free State, a territory in Central Africa that was under the personal rule of King Leopold II of Belgium from 1885 to 1908. The book is a detailed account of the atrocities committed by the Belgian colonial administration in the Congo and the exploitation of its resources, particularly rubber, ivory, and minerals. Bourne exposes the brutal treatment of the Congolese people, including forced labor, mutilation, and murder, as well as the international complicity in these crimes. The book also highlights the heroic efforts of individuals and organizations who fought against the exploitation of the Congo, including Roger Casement and the Congo Reform Association. Overall, Civilization In Congoland is a powerful and thought-provoking expos����� of the dark side of colonialism and the devastating impact it had on the people and land of the Congo.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
