| | | | Annotation
In 1755, an 11-year-old African boy named Olaudah Equiano was kidnapped, forced into a sack, and carried off into slavery. Thus began a series of journeys that would take him halfway around the world--and a struggle for freedom that would make him famous. The story of his triumph over injustice and despair became an international bestseller. 10 historical engravings.
