Awesome, how could anyone who likes history not absolutely love this book!?. Voices from slavery past, collected and presented in an organized work to show how enslaved persons relentlessly sought freedom.

The only problem is that I wish this book didn't have to be written!

Read it, ultra highly recommend!! All people want to be free, read and learn why it is so wrong to enslave others!
