Blackmon won a Pulitzer Prize for this book. What is amazing is the astonishing amount of research that went into the book that uncovers evidence that slavery went on for a lot longer than most people think. Mr. Blackmon, the former head of the wall street journal's Atlanta office, uncovers evidence that will challenge ideas and notions held every by every American about what they thought they knew about this sad part of our history. An astonishing and thought provoking read!
