Discover the firsthand account of the African slave trade in Captain Canot, edited by Brantz Mayer and written by Theodore Canot, a Franco-Italian slave trader. With vivid anecdotes and occasional illustrations, readers gain insight into all aspects of the slave trade, from purchasing slaves to suppressing revolts and establishing the trade in new regions. Shocking descriptions of massacres and encounters with Lord Byron make for an unforgettable reading experience. This work is a powerful counterpoint to accounts by slaves themselves and provides a valuable historical perspective on this dark chapter in human history.
