It makes you want to do further research on the topic. You become curious about the subject and are prompted to dig deeper into it. This is a book for those who like problem solving and history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great reserchBy Mugisa Rathael Fambrobest read on defining what really happened in the slavery institution.
