Customer Reviews

Great for reading and for school.

When taking my college class (Rise and fall of the British Empire), it did not talk enough about Slavery, only a few pages about it. This book gives a clear account of slavery during those times, from an overall view to the day to day lives of the slaves and their owners. It is a must read for anyone that does not know much about this issue.
