Book Reviews of Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery

Book Review: William Wilberforce: The world's first moral and Justice Crusader
Summary: 5 Stars

William Wilberforce shunned his wealthy political class, sacrificed his powerful career and fought against a wicked tradition by dedicating his life fighting the human scourge, called "Slavery". He became an icon for oppressed people all over the world.
How ironic is it that "Todays" world knows little or nothing about William Wilberforce, the conscience of the world and the justice crusader who began it, before it became fashionable? The vote to abolish slavery came in July 1833, the month that William Wilberforce died. The victory was a befitting epithet to his life and career.
