Of all the Western imperialists and their harsh colonial governments, none was as terrifying as King Leopold II of Belgium, and none was as brutal as his African colony, the socalled Congo Free State. In The King Incorporated, Neal Ascherson recounts King Leopold's exploitation of the Congolese he enslaved, tortured, terrorized, and eventually killed an estimated 20 million and his efforts to conceal these atrocities from the rest of the world.
