Book cover for Mutiny on the Black Prince by James H. Sweet, featuring a stormy sea with ships and the subtitle about slavery, piracy, and liberty in the Atlantic world.

Every ship that carried Africans into forced servitude in the New World had a story. If we look closely at one of those stories, we’ll find that we’re soon caught up in a dangerous web of merchants, slave traders, and seafarers on four continents. We’ll also find out where the ultimate power was—in the monarchy or somewhere else?
