The Interest Av Michael Taylor

Discover how the campaign to end slavery divided Britain and was almost thwarted by some of the most powerful and famous figures of the era. **SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING** In 1807, Parliament outlawed the slave trade in the British Empire. But for the next 25 years more than 700,000 people remained enslaved, due to the immensely powerful pro-slavery group the ''West India Interest''.

Gripping and unflinching, The Interest is the long-overdue expos¿f one of Britain''s darkest, most turbulent times.
