Hochchild's riveting history of the remarkable British abolition movement in the late 18th century in which a few dedicated Englishmen (and women) precipitated the end of slavery in the British Empire. Hochild (King Leopold's Ghost) captures the personalities on the principals involved, the social environment of the times, and both the horror and greed of slavery.
