About this listen
You’ve heard of Hitler. You’ve heard of Stalin. You’ve never heard of Leopold. From 1885 to 1908, King Leopold II of Belgium privately owned the Congo Free State—and orchestrated one of the deadliest genocides in human history. Up to 15 million lives were lost in silence. Hands were severed to meet rubber quotas. Children were taken hostage. Villages vanished. And the world looked away.
Rubber and Blood is the untold history of a colonial horror most textbooks still skip. It’s not just a story about Leopold—it’s about the silence that protected him, the system that continued without him, and the Congo that still bears the scar. This isn’t history. This is an indictment.
