The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist

5.0

This book is just exceptional in every way. It is rare to find an author who can write so knowledgeably about the many interweaving realities necessary to reconstruct history—but to find one who writes in beautiful prose is unheard of. Ed Baptist has made a remarkable contribution to the world with this book. Everyone should read it.
