Description
The Forgotten Slaves of North Africa: A Disturbing Chapter in History In 1682, Thomas Pellow was kidnapped from Cornwall and sold into slavery to the tyrannical sultan of Morocco. As his personal slave, he witnessed the brutal splendour of the imperial court and endured the daily terror of a cruel regime. This is their story. Giles Milton's meticulously researched book reconstructs a disturbing chapter in history, shedding light on the little-known fate of one million white Europeans who were forcibly taken from their homes and sold into slavery to the highest bidder. The result is a gripping and thought-provoking account that reveals the harsh realities of life as a slave in North Africa. With vivid detail and impeccable scholarship, White Gold brings this explosive chapter of history to life, offering a powerful exploration of one of the most overlooked periods in European history.
