a very troubling book, I must say. Gave me some very sleepless nights and a horrible sense of despair.
The opening sentence: "The Congo that so horrified Joseph Conrad...."
Horrified also describes much of my reaction to some of the things I found in this book.
Lord have mercy.
Can light ever pierce through to this region and others like it. At times I felt like I was reading about nazi concentration camps.
