King Leopold's rule was subject to severe criticism, especially from British sources. In this book Arthur Conan Doyle criticizes the 'rubber regime'. This book was written to aid the work of the Congo Reform Association. Doyle contrasts Leopold's rule to the British rule of Nigeria, arguing decency required that those who ruled primitive peoples to be concerned first with their uplift, not how much could be extracted from them.
