5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening August 16, 2007

By K. Khan

Format:Paperback

A very emotionless, clear and decisive portrayal of the facts regarding the Jewish role in the African slave trade. I've always believed that it was the arabs and muslims who were largely responsible for the slave trade but this book shows in astonishing and meticulous DETAIL FROM JEWISH SOURCES that the jews had a severely disproportionate role in the African Slave Trade. It certainly makes you wonder about the origin of the NAACP and the jewish role in the civil rights movement. I would recommend this to anyone who can stomach a non-stop barrage of factual references without any "victim" bias.

5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBly HONEST & RIVETING, April 2, 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

There are many books purporting to be the "History of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Writing and references are sloppy, claims are far fetched and even invented. Not this book. I first read this book after loaning it from my public library. I antiscipated yet another hysterical diatribe against whites or polemic against African chieftans. Anyone seeking racists stereotypes should look elsewhere. This book is remarkably well researched. The quotes are all from Jewish sources and no others are included because of the risk of anti-semitic bias.

The book basically consists of archival records of business transactions, personal correspondance and public records of the Shephadic ( North African, Southern European and Dutch Jews) kidnapping, selling and loaning of African slaves. Its descibes the Jews creation of the trans-Atlantic slave trade which began with Christopher Colombus's arrival in the "New World" and his sending Native American Indians back to Spain. Its describes how Jewish wealth already acquired from their slave trading during the Middle Ages and Ottoman Empire period in Europe and the Middle East enabled the Jews to have the financial resources and seafaring merchantile experiences to successfully sell slaves and then sell the produce of slave labor consisting of sugar , tobacco and rum back to the Europeans. The book describes the struggles by various European monarchs to ban the consumption of excessive amounts for sugar, tobacco and rum which was leading to social decline in people that had become addicted to sugar and tobacco. A problem that is still the scourge of western society....

It also describes the tremendous indifference to the pain and suffering caused to African families and the obvious loss of life resulting from Jewish policey which claimed that it was more profitable to kill a slave after seven years then feed him or her nutrional food and keep them alive longer. Many contemporary health problems within the African-American population can be traced back to the slavery era in which their ancestors were fed only on molasses (residue of fermented surgar)

Its records the cultural backlash against the Jews profiteering and pirateering from African and European monarchs and even early American settlers like Peter Styvestant in New York City. There was also numerous slave uprisings resulting in pitched and bloody battles fought between Jewish slave traders and their African captives in South America. Who would disappear into the rain forests to live alongside Native Americans. One siege lasted for nine years with the Jews eventually giving up.

I am a cultural anthropologist so I checked out as many references as I could and they were all authentic. Particularly chilling are the personal correspondance between Jewish slave owners about their private lives and slavery. Incest and venereal disease was common place amongst them but this did not act as any kind of obstacle since the lure of huge profits clashed with personal scruples

There are some fresh insights into the role that the Jewish merchants played in the genocide against Native American Indians. It was a Jewish merchant that supplied the infected blankets and handkerchiefs to the English. So that they could reduce their numbers on the East coast of America with small pox. It describes how the Native Americans were encouraged to participate in slave trading to prevent slaves from escaping to their encampments but the outcome was unsuccessful because the Native tribes would not treat their African captives any different from their own people. This is still a considerable amount of the African-American popluace of both Americas which has Native American Indian ancestry due to intermixing.

All though the book is brief and riveting. Its is not easy reading at all. You really require a cast iron stomach to get through it because of the somewhat gory nature of its contents. However the archival material is so relentless and succint that although you may feel revolted by the mercenary accounts of what must be one of the worst records of mans'inhumanity to man. You still want to read it none the less. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Mythical Black/Jewish Relationship Debunked December 21, 2008

By bookworm

Format:Paperback

This book is a riveting expose of the mythical and misconceived "familial" relationship between blacks and Jews. The Historical Research Department of the Nation of Islam formulates a solid thesis based on authoritative Jewish sources to document the disproportionate involvement of Jews in the African slave trade.

The editors communicate their precise report in an emotionless and unbiased manner. There is not a hint of anger or so-called "rhetoric" in this work. Every claim is supported by citations "from the most respected of the Jewish authorities and whose works appear in established historical journals or are published by authoritative Jewish publishing houses."

This book redefines how students of history and political science should view slavery. Having read this book, the reviewer sees further the pointlessness of feeding into the useful idiocy machine.

It is unfortunate that the contents this book cannot be discussed, at least on the university level, with which the reviewer is well-acquainted, to help re-shape how slavery is interepreted in the United States. We remain in ignorance to what the eminent Jewish scholars already know.

I commend the courage and the bravery of the editors of this work. Though, I do not support the theological-political ideology of the Nation of Islam, I deem the work and research of this report to be accurate and true.

No other group, to my knowledge, with the exception of an article "Who Brought the Slaves to America?" written by a Walter White, Jr. published in 1968, has done Americans a service in exposing the predominant Jewish role in the African slave trade.

If you believe the people who say that they are Jews are really who they say they are and you are a Christian, then you only go to church to listen to your pastor. You are not reading the Holy Scriptures, and you really don't know YHWH too well! Clearly in Deuteronomy 28 (specifically 28:68) the world is told the plight of the chosen people and Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 explain that the Jews who say they are Jews are lying. You can do the math yourself.

This book is loaded with facts about how the Jews influenced the Transatlantic Slave Trade (TaST) and how involved they were. I gather they never considered the truth would ever be revealed, so they boasted their claims in legal documents, letters, and various forms of manuscripts to leave their arrogance throughout the world. They should have known they only had a 'little' time to "deceive the whole world" before the truth would be revealed.

I didn't need to read this book to know there was history repeating the very actions they left behind to boast and boost their claims of superiority, but the ones perpetrating a fraud need to know that it's not long now before the "world" starts believing and the questions start springing forth more vehemently.

I know why the Jewish society was upset with the printing of this book, it exposes their arrogance-in the middle of the trade of the TRUE ISRAELITES-as told in the Holy Bible that they claim as their own-plus the Apocrypha and minus the New Testament. Besides, why are people always labeled ant-Semitic when they have opposing views of the Jewish community or speak about experiences and tell their opinions about Jews? This book helps understand why.
