Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Red Rubber: The Story of the Rubber Slave Trade Which Flourished on the Congo for Twenty Years, 1890-1910
Apart from this personal aspect of the case, the ter rible catastrophe which fell upon Belgium, following so swiftly in the wake of the prolonged effort - in which a number of Belgians played a prominent and distinguished part - to free the Congo from the far more appalling visita tions in?icted upon its people for twenty years, was a dramatic historical episode calculated powerfully to afiect the imagination, and to revive interest in the Congo tragedy.
