An important book to read. Fully annotated to back up the facts in this account. You need to lay aside the tendency to think you would do better, face the fact that even a modern person could be beaten in submission and read this account for the truths it can tell us not only about slavery at its worst but also how a free person can lose his freedom overnight.
