Summary:
"In
Land
of
Tears
, historian Robert Harms reconstructs the chaotic process by which the heart of
Africa
was utterly transformed in the nineteenth century and the rainforest of the Congo River basin became one of the most brutally exploited places on earth. Ranging from remote African villages to European diplomatic meetings to Connecticut piano-key factories, Harms reveals how
equatorial
Africa
became fully, fatefully, and tragically enmeshed within our global world."--From publisher.
