TRAGEDIA DEL CONGO
GEORGE WASHINGTON WILLIAMS / ROGER CASEMENT / SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE / MARK TWAIN
Includes testimonies by Roger Casement, the main character in Mario Vargas Llosas El sue?o del celta. When Leopold II of Belgium formed the African International Association in 1876 and later financed Stanleys expedition to the Congo River (1879-1884), he was creating the foundation for one of historys most tragic episodes. The brutal extermination of the regions inhabitants would have gone unnoticed if it were not for brave individuals who denounced these atrocities.
