A Wicked History Leopold II Butcher of the Congo by Tod Olson

 After Christmas break, my fifteen year old will be researching Leopold II to support his understanding of Heart of Darkness  by Joseph Conrad. This book will assist his research.

The chapters are short. The sentence structure is simple; the vocabulary is easy. A teen reader can finish it in one sitting. However, the incorporation of facts and interesting details are robust. 

This book depicts how horrible Leopold II was. It is labeled "teen" for good reason... the descriptions and photos are graphic and gruesome.

-Borrowed from the library.
