โฆ Synopsis
The Atlantic slave trade was one
of the largest and most elaborate maritime and commercial ventures.
Between 1492 and about 1870, ten million or more black slaves were
carried from Africa to one port or another of the Americas.
In
this wide-ranging book, Hugh Thomas follows the development of this
massive shift of human lives across the centuries until the slave
trade's abolition in the late nineteenth century.
