Exterminate All the Brutes: One Man's Odyssey Into the Heart of Darkness and the Origins of European Genocide Book

In a chilling and controversial book, Swedish author Sven Lindqvist recounts the grisly history of 19th-century European imperialism and its connection to a legacy of genocide. Moving crudely through present-day Africa while tracing the routes of British conquerors, Lindqvist tells how armed troops massacred 11,000 Sudanese with only 48 British deaths in 1898 and how the King of Ashanti was made to kiss the feet of British officers in 1896. Lindqvist doesn't stop in Africa, writing of the extermination of the Tasmanian aborigines and other atrocities inflicted on native people. He then connects those acts with those of the Nazi regime, showing how rampant imperialism sowed the seeds of the Holocaust. A moving account of the forces of history.Read More
