Product Description
Review
'An enthralling read, not simply for the story of the raid itself, which Ekin recreates with bloodcurdling vividness, but for the parallels the author draws with the current geo-political situation' -- The Irish Times The Irish Times 'Wonderfully interesting ... A labour of love is how the author describes it, and after 350 easily read pages, it's well worth the journey' -- Irish Examiner The Irish Examiner 'a harrowing tale that sheds light on the little-known trade in white slaves ... a fascinating exploration of a forgotten chapter of British and European history' -- Giles Milton - BBC History Magazine 'Ekin is admirably surefooted as he finds his way through an impenetrable thicket of often contradictory sources and weaves his findings into an irresistibly readable narrative. Human interest is always well to the fore in a compelling book which also reminds us of the inexhaustible capacity of history to spring surprises.' -- The Scotsman 'This is a gripping account that's exhaustively researched but wears its learning lightly, and proceeds along at a lively pace ... proof if it was needed, that fact is often more interesting than fiction' -- Metro Newspaper 'Do yourself a favour and read this book, it's utterly captivating' -- Living In magazine
