I thought this was a #blameitonlitsy but this is the first review posted, so I‘m not sure how this title was on my radar??… In any case, it was EXCELLENT. Engrossing, well-researched, carefully balanced in perspective, informative, thought-provoking. Highly recommend to anyone interested in Jamaica, history, justice, human nature, the British Empire, or anyone who is just looking for an interesting summer non-fiction.
