White Gold: The Extraordinary Story of Thomas Pellow and North Africa's One Million European Slaves

I also recommend reading - White Gold: The Extraordinary Story of Thomas Pellow and North Africa's One Million European Slaves by Giles Milton. Not only is it an informative true account about little known white slavery in Africa it's also really well written and reads like a novel.

There's a brilliant book on this subject called 'White Gold' by Giles Milton https://www.amazon.com/White-Gold-Extraordinary-Africas-European/dp/0340794704/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1495273413&sr=8-8&keywords=white+gold. It tells the story of how a million white slaves were sold into North African slavery, and follows a young English lad, William Pellow, caught by the Barbary/Moroccan sailors and sold into slavery, alongside Americans, Dutch, French etc.

Most were tortured into converting to Islam, and if did then their home nations wouldn't see them as Christians and wouldn't try and rescue them.

Strangely, this slave trade was still going on after the Atlantic slave trade was banned, and were only rescued after the Royal Navy bombard the Sultan's towns and ports.

This goes back a long time...

An excerpt of the description of the book:

"This is the forgotten story of the million white Europeans, snatched from their homes and taken in chains to the great slave markets of North Africa to be sold to the highest bidder. Ignored by their own governments, and forced to endure the harshest of conditions, very few lived to tell the tale. Using the firsthand testimony of a Cornish cabin boy named Thomas Pellow, Giles Milton vividly reconstructs a disturbing, little known chapter of history. Pellow was bought by the tyrannical sultan of Morocco who was constructing an imperial pleasure palace of enormous scale and grandeur, built entirely by Christian slave labour. ...

Thomas Pellow as chronicled in Giles Milton's excellent White Gold

Severed: The True Story of the "Black Dahlia" Murder by John Gilmore, and I know it's not popular on here, but Zodiac by Robert Graysmilth.

I'd also add [White Gold: The Extraordinary Story of Thomas Pellow and North Africa's One Million European Slaves] (https://www.amazon.com/White-Gold-Extraordinary-Africas-European/dp/0340794704) by Giles Milton. An excellent read about a part of history nobody wants to talk about.

Hi,

White Gold by Giles Milton

'White Gold, is the story of Thomas Pellow, a Cornish cabin boy who was captured at sea by a group of fanatical Islamic slave traders—the Barbary corsairs, taken in chains to the great slave markets of Algiers, Tunis and Salè in Morocco and sold to the highest bidder. Pellow’s purchaser happened to be the tyrannical sultan of Morroco, Moulay Ismail, a man committed to building a vast imperial pleasure palace of unsurpassable splendour built entirely by Christian slave labour. After enduring long periods of torture Pellow converted to Islam and became the personal slave of the sultan for over two decades—including a stint as a soldier in the sultan’s army—before finally making a dramatic escape and return to Cornwall.'
