The Zorg

Siddharth Kara

'The Zorg' tells the astonishing yet little-known story of one of the most consequential ships that ever crossed the Atlantic. Its fateful voyage in 1781 distils centuries of the Atlantic slave trade into a single journey which altered the course of history. By the time its journey ends, the Zorg had become the first undeniable argument against slavery. It was the one slave ship to stand for them all. New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize Finalist Siddharth Kara brings history to life in this page-turning account of The Zorg's voyage from the high seas to the High Court that sparked the human rights campaign to end the slave trade.
