The Kidnapped Prince: The Life of Olaudah Equiano
reviewed The Kidnapped Prince (from the back cover) on


"A gripping true story of adventure, betrayal, cruelty, and courage. In searing scenes, Equiano describes the savagery of his capture, the appalling conditions on the slave ship, the auction, and the forced labor. Yet he survives: he retains his humanity, and he earns his freedom." ("Booklist," Boxed Review)
