Answer:King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild is the story of how King Leopold II of Belgium used violence and coercion to gain control of the Congo. On a larger scale it provides a perspective on how various European powers carved up Africa for their own gain.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Expedition Africa: Stanley and Livingstone series retraces the 1871 journey of
Henry Morton Stanley through the African interior in search of the famed Scottish
explorer David Livingstone. The stakes were high for Stanley on this epic adventure;
working as a reporter for the New York Herald, he hoped to prove himself as a
journalist and to discover what happened to the mysteriously missing Livingstone.
Almost like a rock star in his day, Livingstone had forged several daring expeditions
through Africa before attempting his historic quest to find the source of the Nile River
in 1866. Eyewitnesses had reported seeing Livingstone in Zanzibar, the island from
which he would launch his expedition into modern-day Tanzania. After unloading
at a port town called Mikindany, Livingstone vanished, at least in the eyes of the
Western world. As rumors of his death swirled, Stanley was determined to track him
down, and make his mark on the world in the process.
