They called him the "Builder King." History should remember him as one of humanity's greatest monsters.
Between 1885 and 1908, King Leopold II of Belgium orchestrated a genocide so brutal it shocked the world into silence. Under the guise of humanitarian mission, this seemingly gentle monarch transformed the Congo into his personal torture chamber, where millions died to fill his coffers with rubber profits.
"The Butcher of Congo" reveals the horrifying truth behind history's most successful cover-up.
Through meticulous research and survivor testimonies, this explosive account exposes how Leopold's private army-the Force Publique-terrorized an entire nation. Villages were burned. Families were torn apart. Children's hands were severed as proof of quotas met. In just two decades, the Congolese population was cut in half.
