byTom Zoellner

Focused on the Revolt That Ended Slavery in the British Empire, Island on Fire brings Tom Zoellner's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and social science.
