Publisher's Summary
David Brion Davis is recognized as the leading authority on slavery in the Western world. His books have won such awards as the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.
What the critics say
"A tour de force....explaining what has made slavery's consequences so much a part of contemporary American culture and politics." (New York Times Book Review)
"The broader perspective on American slavery, its social and economic impact on the growth of the U.S., forces readers to face the contradictions between our democratic ideals and economic impulses." (Booklist)
"Davis...succeeds heroically in wrestling a vast amount of material from diverse cultures. The result is a sinewy book that combines erudition and everyday detail into a gripping, often surprising, narrative." (Wall Street Journal)

An Important Book, Entirely Inappropriate Narrator
This is an extremely important book, not only for those interested in the founding of America, but also for those who wish to understand the origins of the problems of race we face today. Unfortunately, the narrator was wholly unsuited for this book. Most sentences begin with a syllable or two in a falsetto before returning to a normal register. Perhaps this is intended to be interesting, but it comes across as chirpy and jolly. Quite jarring considering the serious and grim subject matter of much of the book. I can't finish it. I will read the book instead.
