King Leopold's Ghost, by Adam Hochschild.

An historical account of The Congo Free State, an African country that was the personal property of King Leopold II of Belgium in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The wanton cruelty and disregard for human life shown to the African inhabitants of the area would have made Hitler blush.
