Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crime of the Congo There are many of us in England who consider the crime which has been wrought in the Congo lands by King Leopold of Belgium and his followers to be the greatest which has ever been known in human annals. Personally I am strongly of that Opinion. There have been great expropriations like that of the Normans in England or of the English in Ireland. There have been massacres of populations like that of the South Americans by the Spaniards or of subject nations by the Turks. But never before has there been such a mixture of wholesale expropriation and wholesale massacre all done under an odious guise of philanthropy and with the lowest commercial motives as a reason. It is this sordid cause and the unctious hypocrisy which makes this crime unparalleled in its horror. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best known as the creator of fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, but he was also a physician, humanitarian, and successful non-fiction writer. In The Crime of the Congo, Doyle documents the atrocities committed in the Congo Free State, the personal possession of Leopold II of Belgium. Thousands of native Africans were forced to labor on rubber plantations for the benefit of their colonial overlords. The abuses of the Congo Free State, and worldwide denunciations when they came to light, were instrumental in the Belgian government assuming responsibility of the territory, and renaming it the Belgian Congo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Crime of the Congo" is a book written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1909, exposing the human rights abuses in the Congo Free State, a private state controlled by the King of the Belgians, Leopold II. The book highlights the brutal exploitation and torture of indigenous people in the region, particularly in the lucrative rubber trade. Conan Doyle intended to bring the terrible story of the Congo Free State to the people, as he believed that public opinion had not been sensitive enough to the situation. He was dismissive of the annexation of the state by Belgium, as slavery and ivory poaching continued to occur after annexation. The book was praised as the most powerful indictment yet launched against the Belgian rulers of the colony. Conan Doyle's activism, including his authorship of "The Crime of the Congo," has been noted by many academics who have analyzed his life. In 2009, Cambridge Scholars Publishing released a reprint of the work in Collected Works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The book is available at Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive.

This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book was intended as an expos� of the situation in the so-called Congo Free State (labelled a "rubber regime" by Conan Doyle), an area occupied and designated as the personal property of Leopold II of Belgium and where the serious human rights abuses were occurring. Indigenous people in the region were being brutally exploited and tortured, particularly in the lucrative rubber trade. In the introduction to The Crime of the Congo Conan Doyle wrote: "I am convinced that the reason why public opinion has not been more sensitive upon the question of the Congo Free State is that the terrible story has not been brought thoroughly home to the people", a situation he intended to rectify. Conan Doyle was "strongly of the opinion" that the crimes committed on the Congo were "the greatest to be ever known",and he lauded the work of the Congo Reform Association. Conan Doyle was dismissive of the annexation of the state by Belgium, a situation intended to end the personal rule of the King. Conan Doyle noted that slavery and ivory poaching continued to occur after annexation and that "The Congo State was founded by the Belgian King, and exploited by Belgian capital, Belgian soldiers and Belgian concessionnaires. It was defended and upheld by successive Belgian Governments, who did all they could to discourage the Reformers".
