As cliche as it sounds, this really should be a mandatory read for high school students or at least college students. King Leopold II's blood-thirsty invasion and exploitation of the Congo from 1885-1908 is little-known, yet one of the darkest chapters in world history. An excellent read by Mr. Hochschild and one that inspired me to write my thesis on a topic related to Leopold's treatment of the native Africans.
