The Royal Navy and the Slave Trade

The Royal Navy and the Slave Trade, first published in 1987, offers an analysis of the navy's operations on the East Coast of Africa - an area often neglected in studies of the campaigns against the slavers. It traces the impact on the Arab slave trade from Zanzibar and the political implications of that involvement.
