"Crime of the Congo" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle offers a harrowing examination of the atrocities committed in the Congo Free State during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through meticulous analysis and powerful witness testimonies, particularly in chapters eight and nine, Doyle documents the brutal killing and torture of indigenous people under King Leopold II’s rule and the subsequent Belgian administration. This poignant non-fiction account not only sheds light on the exploitation and suffering endured by the Congolese but also critiques the complicity of missionaries, traders, and corporate representatives.
