In early 1787, twelve mena printer, a lawyer, a clergyman, and others united by their hatred of slaverycame together in a London printing shop and, combining fiery devotion with cool practicality, began one of the most brilliantly organized campaigns of all time. Masterfully stoking public opinion, the movement's leaders pioneered a variety of techniques used by citizens" movements ever since, from consumer boycotts to posters and lapel buttons to celebrity endorsements. A deft account of the precipitous rise of this popular crusade and its fierce, powerful enemies, Bury the Chains delivers all the drama, sweep, and surprise of Hochschild's previous histories. 28274 2005 Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire's Slaves total:198|5:2|4:3|3:2|2:0|1:0| 198 816 348 60 27668 0618619070 9780618619078 177 54 4.12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167882274m/27668.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27668.Bury_the_Chains_Prophets_and_Rebels_in_the_Fight_to_Free_an_Empire_s_Slaves 3 0 false Mon Feb 16 05:37:34 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 05:52:53 -0800 2009 more...]]> 27668 0618619070 9780618619078 177 54 4.12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167882274m/27668.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27668.Bury_the_Chains_Prophets_and_Rebels_in_the_Fight_to_Free_an_Empire_s_Slaves 5 0 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 22 00:19:40 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 00:24:34 -0800 2008
