The extraordinary story of John Kirk, the Scottish botanist who single-handedly ended the slave trade in East Africa. John Kirk arrived in Africa alongside Dr Livingstone, and together they attempted to chart the Zambezi. The voyage was a disaster; however, Kirk returned to the island of Zanzibar, the port at the centre of the slave trade. Here, as acting consul, he observed the horrors of trafficking and was determined to put an end to it. The Last Slave Market tells Kirk's dramatic story: a forgotten Victorian hero who fought for the end of slavery, and won against all the odds. Alastair Hazell rewrites an extraordinary chapter in history.
