The King Incorporated

It is the aim of this text to describe Leopold II without prejudice. The text presents many aspects of his life: as a most ruthless negotiator; as the cold father; and as the sensual ancient riding his tricycle at Vilefranche-sur-Mer to pedal round to the villa of a young mistress.

This non-fiction paperback, "The King Incorporated" from Neal Ascherson, was published 13th July 1999 by Granta Books.
