William Wilberforce: A Life of Unwavering Conviction This biography explores the life and campaign against the slave trade of William Wilberforce, a man who defied convention to lead a powerful movement for change. From his conversion to evangelical Christianity to his tireless efforts in Parliament, Hague reveals the complexities and contradictions of this remarkable figure. Over twenty-three years, Wilberforce navigated the treacherous waters of British politics, forming friendships with influential leaders such as Pitt, Spencer Perceval, and George Canning, while also facing significant challenges and disappointments.
