A review by raisinreads
King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild

5.0

I'm currently in the process of reeducating myself on history after discovering the intense propaganda in our education system. This book is an essential read to anyone alive today. Read that sentence again because I mean it.

Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it, and the horrors of colonialism are still too often ignored. This text is a brilliant factual and engaging account of a time period too often ignored.

This book should be taught in every school. Colonialism is not over, as many have known, It is merely shifted.
