## Description

Buy The Forgotten Slave Trade: The White European Slaves of Islam Reprint by Simon Webb (ISBN: 9781526797094) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: An essential read. - Another excellent book from Simon Webb. Refreshing to find a history writer who deals with facts, not prescribed fiction.
Review: An impartial assessment of slavery - Thoroughly enjoyable short narrative on the universal impact of slavery. Webb successfully attempts to show that slavery impacted Europe historically and challenges much of today's views on the slave trade being initiated by white colonial powers which only had an effect on black Africans. He explains how early Moslem religious teaching meant that it was not acceptable to enslave fellow Moslems so for the best part of 1000 years Europe including the British Isles and Africa provided the millions of slaves required. A well balanced and refreshingly frank history without political interference. Should be impartially read and digested by all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An informative read and useful for countering some of the current nostrums.
*by T***N on 14 August 2023*

I enjoyed the book. It resurrected important facts, long since ignored or marginalised because they don't fit the current woke narrative and thus gave them context and meaning. If I have one minor negative observation it's the use of the Falklands War (p.168) to justify a disingenuous point: Margaret Thatcher didn't launch the Falklands War to win an election or distract the British voter; she merely responded with military force to a war forced upon her by Argentina and its need to distract their masses due to the Juntas' mishandling of the Argentine economy. That aside, this book joins others on my bookshelf which defends the British story in taking on the slavers and puts to the metaphorical sword the notion that slavery was a uniquely white and western undertaking. Those less discerning don't like that fact - but fact it is.
