enzyme reviewed King Leopold's soliloquy by Mark Twain
Review of "King Leopold's soliloquy" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
An admonishment of the wretched King of Belgium and his crimes against humanity in the Congo. The satire is characteristically witty and outraging--even reaching through history to shock the reader.
enzyme reviewed King Leopold’s Ghost by Adam Hochschild
Review of 'King Leopold’s Ghost' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
An engaging, captivating, necessary story about the ravages of colonialism under the Belgian King. Hochschild ties together numerous angles from the key players in the story, with evidence spanning over a century and including how this story impacts the global south today. Reading this book should give you a righteous anger to demand more to ensure the rights of your global neighbors cease being destroyed, and that reparations--true, substantive reparations--are paid for the theft endured by the Congolese, even up to this day.
