Island on Fire: The Revolt That Ended Slavery in the British Empire by Tom Zoellner

4.0

The brutal fallout of a failed revolt told in a undramatic manner, which initially had me feeling a way, but I eventually realised its the only way to get through the subject matter.

It becomes very focused on England and English politics showing how the abolition of slavery was 'just' one aspect of a very unsettled political landscape for the Tories at the time.

Worth a read.
