This is a non-fiction exposé of Belgian crimes and atrocities in the Congo, written by the creator of Sherlock Holmes. From the preface: "Never before has there been such a mixture of wholesale expropriation and wholesale massacre all done under an odious guise of philanthropy and with the lowest commercial motives as a reason. It is this sordid case and the unctuous hypocrisy which makes this crime unparalleled in its horror." A damning indictment of European colonial policy by one of Edwardian England's greatest writers.
