Drawing on exhaustive research in French and Congolese archives, a chilling documentary record, and heartbreaking photographic evidence, J. P. Daughton tells the epic story of the Congo- Océan railroad, and in doing so reveals the human costs and contradictions of modern empire."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 385.09672 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 385.09672 Daughton Checked In Add Copy to MyList
