Gli spettri del Congo. Re Leopoldo II del Belgio e l'olocausto dimenticato

Hochschild's detailed narrative brings Leopold to life, but I'm curious how much of this was driven by new research or a desire to humanize him.

Some figures are portrayed as heroes, but their methods or motives sometimes felt ambiguous. How did others interpret their roles in this history?

The book weaves personal stories with historical events—I'm wondering what guided those choices and how they shaped the narrative.
