3 quotes from King Leopold's Ghost

"The Congo would be a place where the myth of the white man's burden could be realized, as long as the burden was borne by the black man."
"In the end, it was the victims themselves who did the most to bring about change, as the world began to learn the truth about what was happening in the Congo."
"Ambassadors' reports rarely told the whole truth; they were not intended to. Like the Congo itself, the system was a lie that profoundly affected millions."
