Read this a long time ago. What I remember is its prose. It's dramatic and well-written. Goes into details describing the horrors suffered by the slaves in the plantations. ( )

A one sided view of the history of the African Slave Trade.
The author shys away from the conterverisal questions and sticks to the greed issue of the Europeans. Interesting, but leaves many questions unanswered. Makes no mention of pre-European slave tade by Arabs. ( )
