The British Case In French Congo: The Story Of A Great Injustice, Its Causes And Its Lessons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432694906)

The British Case In French Congo: The Story Of A Great Injustice, Its Causes And Its Lessons is a non-fiction book written by Edmund D. Morel. The book tells the story of the exploitation and mistreatment of the Congolese people by the French colonial government during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Morel provides a detailed account of the atrocities committed against the Congolese people, including forced labor, mutilation, and murder. The author also examines the role of the British government in allowing these injustices to occur, despite being aware of the situation. Morel argues that the British government's complicity in the exploitation of the Congolese people was driven by economic interests and a desire to maintain political power. The book concludes with a call to action for the international community to take responsibility for the damage done and to work towards justice and reconciliation. Overall, The British Case In French Congo is a powerful and informative account of a dark period in colonial history, and a reminder of the importance of holding those in power accountable for their actions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
