Publisher's Synopsis
The Truth About The Congo: The Chicago Tribune Articles is a book written by Frederick Starr. The book is a collection of articles written by Starr for the Chicago Tribune, which were published between 1906 and 1907. The articles detail the atrocities committed by the Belgian colonial government in the Congo Free State, which was under the personal rule of King Leopold II. The book provides a comprehensive account of the brutal exploitation of the Congolese people, including forced labor, mutilation, and murder. Starr's articles were instrumental in raising awareness of the situation in the Congo and ultimately led to international condemnation of King Leopold's regime.
