Produktbeschreibung
""The Truth About The Congo: The Chicago Tribune Articles"" is a book by Frederick Starr that compiles a series of articles published by the Chicago Tribune in 1906. The articles aim to expose the atrocities committed by King Leopold II of Belgium in the Congo Free State, which he ruled as his personal colony. Starr's articles shed light on the brutal exploitation of the Congolese people, who were forced to work on rubber plantations under inhumane conditions and subjected to violence, torture, and mutilation. The book provides a detailed account of the atrocities committed by Leopold's agents and highlights the complicity of the international community in turning a blind eye to the situation. Starr's work played a significant role in bringing attention to the Congo crisis and ultimately led to the end of Leopold's reign over the territory. The book is a powerful indictment of colonialism and a reminder of the importance of speaking truth to power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
