The classic research - inspiration for an important HBO series - reveals the true horror of Europe's racist colonial past in Africa.
More than twenty-five years ago, historian Sven Lindqvist embarked on his journey to Central Africa. Obsessed with a single phrase from Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" - Kurtz's command to "Exterminate All the Brutes" - he combined the narration of his experiences with deep historical research. In doing so, he revealed exactly what Europe's imperial powers had imposed on the peoples of Africa over the past two centuries.
Shocking, human, imaginative, and deeply moral, "Exterminate All the Brutes" remains a timeless classic work of historical research. It is essential reading for anyone wishing to confront the harsh, genocidal, racist history on which Europe built its wealth.
