King Leopold’s Ghost examines a Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa, combining Adam Hochschild's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of history.
