I have been slowly reading this one. It's a tough book to read, but an important one for sure. Growing up in Canada we learned little “American history” Of course, you would have to be living under a rock not to know about slavery since it spans the world. This book, however, is about three men who would build the largest slave industry in America. Sometimes book like this can be “dry” but I think the author did a good job of presenting us a (obviously) well researched biography and business history involving the three men.
