[QUOTE="midas1, post: 4593771, member: 21309"]I don't know why you keep referring to "numbers" when I never referred to "numbers." This says a lot - ". . .

" You put a lot of time and effort into building your website. I can't decide if you're a Leopold apologist or if you're lost in weeds of history. Leopold knew what was going on by his forces and "agents" in the Congo. I'm sure you're familiar w/ Hochschild's impeccable work that is highly regarded by historians. Just discovered the highly rated King Leopold's Ghost is available on Amazon Prime. Gonna watch it tonight.[/QUOTE]
