Adam Hochschild / Joseph Conrad - King Leopold’s Ghost / Conrad’s Congo - 2013-2017

King Leopold’s Ghost / Conrad’s Congo As Morel watches these riches streaming to Europe with almost no goods being sent to Africa to pay for them, he realizes that there can be only one explanation for their source: slave labour. Brought face to face with evil, Morel does not turn away. Instead, what he sees determines the course of his life and the course of an extraordinary movement, the first international human rights movement of the twentieth century.
