Featuring a clever introduction and judicious collection of documents, Michael Rutz s book neatly captures the drama of one king s quest to build an empire in Central Africa a quest that began in the name of anti-slavery and free trade and ended in the brutal exploita-tion of human lives. This volume is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in the history of colonial rule in Africa.
