With Captain Stairs to Katanga: Slavery and Subjugation in the Congo 1891-92

The late 19th century saw practically the entire continent of Africa carved up and partitioned between a handful of European colonial powers. This is the story of the Stairs Expedition, related by the group's medical officer. First published in 1893, Moloney's fascinating narrative will transport readers to a world of cannibals, missionaries, and slave traders; a provocative military invasion and its bloody climax; and the mercenaries' nightmarish return march.Moloney, Joseph is the author of 'With Captain Stairs to Katanga: Slavery and Subjugation in the Congo 1891-92', published 2007 under ISBN 9780955393655 and ISBN 0955393655.
