Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and Their Astonishing Odyssey Home

★ George Washington Prize ★ Harriet Tubman Prize

Stolen is Richard Bell's historical account of five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and Their Astonishing Odyssey Home. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of history and social science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
