Stanley the Impossible Life of Africa's Greatest Explorer

Henry Morton Stanley was a British explorer who conquered Central Africa and killed 13 million people making a rubber factory. In 2007 Tim Giel published Stanley the Impossible Life of Africa's greatest explorer which is how he learned about stuff like Stanley lying about how many people he'd killed. A 2011 Smithsonian magazine article argues that Stanley should be like a productivity guru that we take advice on it's fun where this all has gone is real interesting.
