From the author of the widely acclaimed King Leopold's Ghost comes the taut; gripping account of one of the most brilliantly organized social justice campaigns in history -- the fight to free the slaves of the British Empire. In early 1787; twelve men -- a printer; a lawyer; a clergyman; and others united by their hatred of slavery -- came together in a London printing shop and began the world's first grass-roots movement; battling for the rights of people on another continent. Masterfully stoking public opinion; the movement's leaders pioneered a variety of techniques that have been adopted by citizens' movements ever since; from consumer boycotts to wall posters and lapel buttons to celebrity endorsements. A deft chronicle of this groundbreaking antislavery crusade and its powerful enemies; Bury the Chains gives a little-celebrated human rights watershed its due at last.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Hard to readBy William S.I've only read a few pages and it stinks. It's about a Senate investigation into Korean atrocities. It's basically from what I've read is about reports which the North Koreans and Chinese committed. I think all the atrocities that the North Koreans and Chinese committed should be known to the world and be accountable. I found the book to be very dry; official document stuff reading. I didn't like the way it's presented. Maybe if I was really bored and read more; I might change my mind. If so; I will update my review.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. not what I expectedBy edbbI guess I was expecting an easier read; I skipped around quite a bit to try and figure out what was going on.One of the 'interviews' somewhat portrayed the GI as illiterate or poorly educated which in speaking with my father who served during the conflict was what he referred to as the other end of the cream of the crop( similar to Vietnam in that they drafted lower class ) I guess I can say this is perfect for someone strictly doing a research paper as there is really nothing else about it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
