Books
This title focuses on the lives of three individuals caught up in the enterprise of human enslavement - a trader, John Newton, an owner, Thomas Thistlewood, and a slave, Olaudah Equiano. All three men were contemporaries. What held them together, in its destructive gravitational pull, was the Atlantic slave system.
