A highly informative and well-written account of the white slave trade in North Africa in the 1700s. The story of Thomas Pellow is quite captivating -- no pun intended.

The story of the white slaves of North Africa. Fascinating look at a little-known aspect of Euro-african history. Everyone knows about the 16 million black slaves taken to the Americas. But little is heard of the 1 million white slaves captured by the corsairs of North Africa. Easy to read, and lots of interesting tales within the book.
