12 Years a Slave: A True Story of Betrayal, Kidnap and Slavery by Solomon Northup

5.0

Incredibly gripping and is charged with emotion the strength of a million lightning bolts. Made me think at length about modern capitalism and it’s historical links to slavery as a profit making business. Makes you realise how many real lives were wrecked by the many-faced cannonballs of ignorance, cruelty and money.
