A Brief History of Slavery by Jeremy Black

3.0

Whilst I did expect this book to be academic and to provide a broad overview rather than going into detail, I still found myself wanting to skip large paragraphs of entirely names and dates. I also found some of the writing inaccessible for the standard reader, which to some extent again is to be expected for academic work, but it wasn't always necessary in the context. However, the book does provide an overview of the history of slavery, just as it aims to, with plenty of detail for an overview.
