A useful polemic on a horrible tragedy Written by Arthur Conan Doyle and published in 1909, "The Crime of the Congo" is a polemic about the horrors of Belgian rule in central Africa. He details, with considerable repetition and vituperativeness, the systematic exploitation of the native peoples by, first, a private monopoly led by King Leopold III and then by the nation of Belgium.The author refers to this period as a crime that was the "greatest which has ever been known in human annals". The system he describes is, in many ways, eerily similar to the Soviet-era Gulag. His book is based on reports by former officials, Christian missionaries,. "Interesting contempory account of a seldom heard story" according to David Cawthon. I read this after reading "King Leopold's Ghost".
