À propos de cet audio
Ten million people had been murdered. For 15 years, atrocities had been perpetrated by King Leopold II of Belgium and his Force Publique in the Congo Free State. By 1909, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle could stand it no longer and felt the need to speak out and inform the general public of exactly what was going on.
This new edition of his passionate plea for action includes contemporary newspaper reports and an introduction by Tim Dalgleish which gives a flavor of the response to Conan Doyle’s book and his political actions (while not ignoring a degree of hypocrisy as a fellow colonialist). His book is a classic in the annals of genocide and remains a shocking portrayal of humanity’s "heart of darkness".
