Bury The Chains tells the remarkable story of the men who sought to end slavery & brought the issue to the heart of British political life. ` Hochschild`s marvellous book is a timely reminder of what a small group of determined people, with right on their side, can achieve. Carefully researched & elegantly written, with a pacy narrative that ranges from the coffee houses of London to the back-breaking sugar plantations of the West Indies, it charts the unlikely success of the first international human rights movement` Saul David, Literary Review ` Hochschild is such a gifted researcher & story-teller that he never fails to hold the reader`s attention...
