“The great strength of this work—aside from Mr. Rediker’s vivid style as a writer and meticulous research—is that he brings the Amistad Africans back to center stage.”

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Noted historian Marcus Rediker has earned numerous awards for his work, including the sought-after George Washington Book Prize. In The Amistad Rebellion, he turns his attention to the famed slave ship that set sail from Havana in 1839. Painstakingly researched, Rediker's account follows the slaves' point of view, from the joyous moments after they seized the ship through the harrowing court case that would become a touchstone in the struggle for civil rights.
