This audiobook presents the remarkable life of Olaudah Equiano, who rose from a child slave to a celebrated abolitionist and influential figure in Georgian Britain. After enduring years of enslavement and fighting in the Seven Years War, Equiano ultimately secured his freedom and became a key advocate for the abolition of the slave trade. His autobiography, first published in 1789, remains a powerful testament to his experiences and a significant account of slavery in Britain's history. With a foreword by historian David Olusoga, this edition contextualizes Equiano's impact and legacy.
