TRAVEL WITH WILLIAM WILBERFORCE
By Kevin Belmonte
Day One. 128 pages. £9.99
ISBN 1 84625 027 7

The historian G.M. Trevelyan described the abolition of the British slave trade as ‘one of the turning points in the history of the world’. Next year sees the 200th anniversary of this momentous event in which William Wilberforce was the prime mover.

This shiny paperback by Kevin Belmonte, an accomplished American historian, is a timely reminder of the life and faith of the great man.
