This book is the first full-scale treatment of the only instance in history in which black Africans, seized by slave dealers, won their freedom by legal means and returned home. From its beginning in a revolt aboard a Spanish slave ship to its conclusion in the halls of the U.S. Supreme Court, the Amistad affair was a key event in the history of slavery and abolition, and this book vividly captures the historical drama and significance of the episode.
