Barbary Slave Book

 

Barbary SlaveBarbary Slave by Peter Holland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

By chance, I hit up on the printed version of "Barbary Slave", by Peter Holland.

It brought me back to a time in Europe, where their new masters captured over a million white slaves and either used them or sold them off.
The book explores the history of both the slave traders operating out of North Africa and the individuals who are taken as slaves from their villages on the European coastlines, including as far up as England and Ireland.

A very good read.

WARNING:
It involves violence, blood and death. And, it suggests the duties of a slave girl at that time in history.
