Adam Hochschild,
The New York Times Book Review "Searingly brilliant."–
Los Angeles Times Book Review " I was hardly prepared for the profound emotional impact of
The Slave Ship: A Human History. Reading it established a transformative and never to be severed bond with my African ancestors who were cargo in slave ships over a period of four centuries."–

The Slave Ship is the best of histories, deeply researched, brilliantly formulated, and morally informed."–
Ira Berlin, author of
Many Thousands Gone
