A disturbing and forgotten chapter of history which gives an account about the Islamic slave traders who had declared war on Christendom. They carried out raids on Europe and thousands of Europeans had been snatched and made their way to the slave markets of North Africa. Thomas Pellow was taken in 1716 and was able to recount these events after he was eventually able to escape from twenty-three years of slavedom.
