Title: What about the Horror created by the natives?
Product review: I find modern history writers somewhat incredible when they only write to Condemn one side over another. I find prevalent among history writers who write about America's Indians without examining the inhumane practices of these varrious tribes. To be fair I also want to know about the slavery, torture, killing and kidnapping these Congolese tribes perpetrated on each other. The constant condemnation the author intones gainst Leopold looses its flavor for me and actually has the opposite effect. This author is a guy with a singular point of view out to get those who created our modern societies. I condemn all torture, rape, killing and slavery..surely these Congolese were not living in the garden of Eden! They too, because they were human, had to be just like the Europeans. I despise politically motivated history writing... This book is such an example.
