Sobre este título

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.

What you'll discover:

  • The shocking methods used to extract "red rubber" from enslaved populations
  • How Leopold fooled the world with fake humanitarian propaganda
  • The whistleblowers who risked everything to expose the truth
  • Why this genocide was deliberately erased from history books
  • The disturbing parallels to modern-day atrocities

This isn't just another history book—it's a wake-up call. At a time when authoritarian power is rising globally, Leopold's story serves as a chilling reminder of what happens when the world looks away from evil.

Based on newly uncovered documents and eyewitness accounts, "The Butcher of Congo" finally gives voice to the millions who suffered in silence.
