The book provides a groundbreaking comparative analysis of European slave traders, utilizing archival sources for the first time. It challenges existing narratives by downplaying the impact of overcrowded slave ships on mortality rates and highlighting African influences on the slave trade, which are often overlooked. Klein argues that the slave-trading practices were fundamentally similar across nations, asserting that no single nation held a moral high ground over the others. This work adds depth to the ongoing discourse surrounding the complexities of the slave trade.
