Story
From the writers behind the acclaimed documentary series Enslaved, starring Samuel L. Jackson, comes a rich and revealing narrative of the true global and human scope of the transatlantic slave trade. The trade existed for 400 years, during which twelve million people were trafficked and two million would die en route. In these book, we meet the remarkable group Diving with a Purpose (DWP) as they dive for sunken slave ships all around the world.

This book is so important - I absolutely love how it gives the viewpoints of the divers as they discover powerful remnants of the sunken ships and consider the horrible crimes committed on them. It makes archaeology an emotional journey with modern relevance while giving an informative overview of the history of the transatlantic enslavement. Highly recommend

Story
The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.

I loved the way this book describes how a misunderstanding of Genghis Khan's role in history led to a fear of Asians in general.
Very well researched with a great personal touch in the afterword about the author's experience in Mongolia
