Great Britain outlawed the slave trade in 1807. This was a fact that I had to memorize in high school, but I had never stopped to think about how that actually worked. My classes did not get into that, either: purposefully or not, they gave the impression that the transatlantic slave trade stopped just because Great Britain said so.

For over 400 years, more than 15 million men, women and children were the victims of the tragic transatlantic slave trade, one of the darkest chapters in human history. This is an intelligent, fantastically interesting book, Rooks guides us through the slave trade, but more importantly highlights and emphasises how it still guides and shapes our modern lives. I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone who ‘thinks’ they know about the abolition of slavery, and to everyone interested in unlearning or learning some truths and facts they won’t know and won’t always want to know, but they need to.

This book covers the sheer complexity of the macroeconomic and legal issues of policing international waters to locate and capture well-financed slave ships, and how much those ships/captains lied and committed horrible acts of violence to evade capture and consequences. “Naively it seemed, many of England’s abolitionists, and at least some politicians, had expected the eradication of the trade to be a relatively simple endeavor that would pave the way to abolition of slavery itself, imagining it would take a scant few years perhaps. Slavers in large part simply contrived new methods to evade condemnation, even if captured.” “As long as there was a single flag to hide behind, the unscrupulous would exploit it.”
