I got this book because I like history. However, this book is written with a clear bias that I found extremely annoying, so that I could not read more then a few pages.

Yes, slavery was abhorrent, but the author's clear disdain for it perveated every sentence written. His condemnation of our founding fathers made it impossible for me to read.

This book gives a very different view of the travesty of slavery all over the world.
