Read King Leopold's Ghosts. Its an excellent book. It shows what was happening in the Congo, and how activism by one dedicated dude was able to sway public perception to force Leopold to stop.
The worst thing I heard of was they shoved dynamite up some of the butts of workers that pissed them off and lit the fuse.

I'm VERY skeptical of this, the clay story, and the 10mm number dead...wiki says from 2-15mm dead, so there seems to be a GREAT deal of unsubstantiated story telling around this topic...He and the Belgians were no doubt scumbags, but I'm pretty sure a great many of these tales are not exactly the truth
