Recenzii

Bury the Chains is a thrilling, substantive, and oftentimes raw work of narrative history.” —Maureen Corrigan, NPR's “Fresh Air”   “Hochschild has crafted a powerfully inspiring tale . . . A chronicle of a rare and radiant victory.” Kirkus Reviews, starred review   “A brilliantly told tale, at once horrifying and pleasurable to read.” Publishers Weekly, starred review   “Bury the Chains is a vital testament to difficult hope.” Minneapolis Star-Tribune   “A superb account . . . a witty, wonderfully readable narrative. Grade: A.” Entertainment Weekly   “A moral text with the dramatic power of a great epic novel.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch   “There are few books that that could serve as a required and much-loved text for a high school history class and also a compelling Sunday afternoon read for anyone. This is one of those books.” —Chicago Sun-Times   “Bury the Chains is by far the most readable and rounded account we have of British anti-slavery.”  —Los Angeles Times   “One quickly runs out of superlatives when praising this book.”  —Christian Science Monitor   “Terrifically readable . . . inspiring.”  —San Jose Mercury News   “Hochschild has a knack for vivid portraits, and an eye for arresting detail.”  —Boston Globe     —
