This book is a collection of articles published in the Chicago Tribune about the Congo Free State. These articles were penned by Frederick Starr. In this period when these articles were written, there was mounting criticism of the state of near-slavery in which rubber workers were kept by colonial forces. Some of the veracity of these articles are questioned today, but at the time it was part of a set of propaganda campaigns by King Leopold II to protect his reputation despite many of the atrocities that were done there.
