Description
In an adventurous and extraordinary life, Equiano crisscrossed the Atlantic world, from West Africa to the Caribbean to the U.S. to Britain, either as a slave or fighting with the Royal Navy. This account is not only one of the great documents of the abolition movement, but also a startling, moving story of danger and betrayal.
