Behind Belgium’s polished image as a small, peaceful European nation lies one of the most gruesome and underacknowledged chapters in human history. Kingdom of Horror exposes the brutal truth of Belgium’s colonial reign in Africa, particularly in the Congo Free State, where King Leopold II orchestrated a regime of terror, exploitation, and genocide that claimed millions of African lives.

Sam Prajnananda delivers a piercing account of how rubber, ivory, and greed fueled one of the most violent extraction economies ever known—complete with forced labor, mutilations, executions, and the destruction of entire communities. This book does not flinch in its pursuit of historical justice, naming the Belgian monarchs, missionaries, and corporate interests who enriched themselves at the cost of unimaginable suffering.

Readers will uncover:

• The horrors of Leopold’s private empire and its global cover-up

• The complicity of European elites, churches, and corporations

• The ongoing legacy of trauma, underdevelopment, and silence in the Congo

• The demand for reparations, memorialization, and truth-telling

Kingdom of Horror is not a tale of distant history—it’s a reckoning with a legacy that continues to shape Africa and Europe today.

Because true healing begins with facing the blood that still stains the crown.

Long portrayed as a minor colonial player, Portugal in fact pioneered some of the most brutal, enduring systems of exploitation in Africa—leaving deep scars that still bleed across the continent. Portugal’s Blood Price uncovers the hidden empire that stretched from Angola to Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau to Cape Verde, and reveals how centuries of enslavement, cultural destruction, and military repression were carried out in the name of profit and empire.

Sam Prajnananda meticulously traces Portugal’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, its use of forced labor well into the 20th century, and its violent suppression of African independence movements. From Lisbon’s palaces to African battlefields, this book names the figures, institutions, and ideologies behind the crimes—and the silence that followed.

Readers will discover:

• How Portugal enslaved millions and created systems of racial caste

• The brutal colonial wars in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau

• The complicity of the Catholic Church and European powers

• The lasting effects on language, identity, economy, and resistance

• A bold call for justice, reparations, and historical truth

Portugal’s Blood Price is more than history—it’s an awakening.
Because no wound can heal without first being seen.
