Great Britain and the Congo:
The Pillage of the Congo Basin.
With an Introduction by Sir A. CONAN DOYLE.
TIMES.—“Mr. Morel’s untiring industry has been by far the most important
factor in awakening both public and official opinion to the monstrous
iniquity which for the last eighteen years has been perpetrated with
ever-increasing cynicism and effrontery in the Congo basin.”
STANDARD.—“It is a painful, an uncomfortable, an embarrassing story.
The Secretary of the Congo Reform Association is an enthusiast who has
devoted himself with a noble zeal and unflinching courage to the task of
wiping out the black curse of African exploitation and rubber slavery in
Central Africa.”
PALL MALL GAZETTE.—“The best and most comprehensive treatise we have yet
seen on this subject. It is a model of what a work of the kind should be.
Authorities are given by footnotes for every statement as of fact, and
for most of the opinions on the condition of the Congo.”
EVENING STANDARD.—“Mr. Morel has done more than any man living to expose
the foul blot on the reputation of certain Belgian financiers. It is his
white-hot indignation at the loathsome cruelties perpetrated in the Congo
Free State that has fired the whole of England.”
