{"product_id":"the-king-incorporated-leopold-the-second-and-the-congo","title":"The King Incorporated: Leopold the Second and the Congo","description":"Of all the Western imperialists and their harsh colonial governments, none was as terrifying as King Leopold II of Belgium, and none was as brutal as his African colony, the so-called Congo Free State. In The King Incorporated, Neal Ascherson recounts King Leopold's exploitation of the Congolese -- he enslaved, tortured, terrorized, and eventually killed an estimated 20 million -- and his efforts to conceal these atrocities from the rest of the world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1862072906\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1862072906.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ascherson, Neal\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
