Sable Ivory by Clint Rockman

Those who survived the horrors of capture and the inhumanity of the slave market, endured sexual humiliation and brutality of the plantations. A few, a tiny minority, fought or ran for their liberty. The remainder rarely had long to wait for their own freedom – an early and often agonising death. For the slavers themselves, the trade brought its own peculiar kind of death. By dealing in human suffering by wading thigh-deep in death, their humanity diminished and swiftly died. They lived, but only as corrupt and brutalised shells of men. The only people who prospered were the slave merchants. They never saw blood on their own hands. They never had to smell the charnel-taint of a loaded slaving-ship. They simply grew fat on the enormous profits of the trade. This 1979 New English Library Paperback is in fair condition. Pages tanned. Cover worn and faded with two small stains on the back.
