The book's author; Peter Kolchin; expertly presents readers with a good grasp on how historians' views on slavery have developed; where there is disagreement; and what areas need greater exploration. Its brevity and comprehensiveness make it a book which will serve as a guide for further reading. Kolchin further assists readers in that effort by providing a wonderful bibliographic essay at the end of his book.
