For Read Harder challenge #22: Read a history about a period you know little about. Technically, this book covers a few periods I know little about, such as the horrible dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic and the reign of Leopold II in the Congo. Dictators, tyrants, slave holders—they all loved their statues. I just happened to finish this book in the same week the last public Confederate monument in Richmond, VA, was removed. Progress.
