内容简介：
In the 1880s, as the European powers were carving up Africa,
King Leopold II of Belgium seized for himself the vast and mostly
unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. Carrying out a
genocidal plundering of the Congo, he looted its rubber, brutalized
its people, and ultimately slashed its population by ten
million--all the while shrewdly cultivating his reputation as a
great humanitarian. Heroic efforts to expose these crimes
eventually led to the first great human rights movement of the
twentieth century, in which everyone from Mark Twain to the
Archbishop of Canterbury participated. King Leopold's Ghost is the
haunting account of a megalomaniac of monstrous proportions, a man
as cunning, charming, and cruel as any of the great Shakespearean
villains. It is also the deeply moving portrait of those who fought
Leopold: a brave handful of missionaries, travelers, and young
idealists who went to Africa for work or adventure and unexpectedly
found themselves witnesses to a holocaust. Adam Hochschild brings
this largely untold story alive with the wit and skill of a Barbara
Tuchman. Like her, he knows that history often provides a far
richer cast of characters than any novelist could invent. Chief
among them is Edmund Morel, a young British shipping agent who went
on to lead the international crusade against Leopold. Another hero
of this tale, the Irish patriot Roger Casement, ended his life on a
London gallows. Two courageous black Americans, George Washington
Williams and William Sheppard, risked much to bring evidence of the
Congo atrocities to the outside world. Sailing into the middle of
the story was a young Congo River steamboat officer named Joseph
Conrad. And looming above them all, the duplicitous billionaire
King Leopold II. With great power and compassion, King Leopold's
Ghost will brand the tragedy of the Congo--too long forgotten--onto
the conscience of the West.

媒体评论
"An enthralling story, full of fascinating characters, intense
drama, high adventure, deceitful manipulations, courageous
truth-telling, and splendid moral fervor . . .A work of history
that reads like a novel." (
Christian Science Monitor
)"As
Hochschild's brilliant book demonstrates, the great Congo scandal
prefigured our own times . . . This book must be read and
reread."--Neal Ascherson (
The Los Angeles Times
)"A vivid,
novelistic narrative that makes the reader acutely aware of the
magnitude of the horror perpetrated by King Leopold and his
minions." (
The New York Times
)"Carefully researched and
vigorously told, King Leopold's Ghost does what good history always
does -- expands the memory of the human race." (
The Houston
Chronicle
)"King Leopold's Ghost is a remarkable achievement,
hugely satisfying on many levels. It overwhelmed me in the way
Heart of Darkness did when I first read it;and for precisely the
same reasons: as a revelation of the horror that had been hidden in
the Congo." -- Paul Theroux (
