Sins of the Fathers by James Pope-Hennessy
Based on the journals and letters of slave traders, merchant seamen and sometimes of the slaves themselves, this book presents the terrible history of the Atlantic slave trade, from its origins in the 15th century to its gradual dissolution in the early 1800s.
James Pope-Hennessy was a writer of unusual range and beguilingly fluent style. He was born in 1916 and educated at Downside and Balliol College, Oxford. From 1947 to 1949 he was literary editor of The Spectator. By then, he had already decided that writing was his vocation, and for the rest of his life he earned his living by the pen. He died in 1974.
