From the award-winning author of King Leopold's Ghost, the dramatic story of the men who ignited the first great human rights movement


Eighteenth-century Britain was the world's leading centre for the slave trade. Profits soared and fortunes were made, but in 1788 things began to change. Bury The Chains tells the remarkable story of the men who sought to end slavery and brought the issue to the heart of British political life.
