description: "Jules Marchal was a Belgian diplomat and historian, who wrote extensively on the history of colonial exploitation in the Belgian Congo. Originally writing in Dutch, under the pseudonym A. M. Delathuy, he later published studies in French under his own name. Adam Hochschild, in his bestselling King Leopold's Ghost, praised Marchal's work as \"the best scholarly overview by far, encyclopedic in scope\"."
