-- Manchan Magan * Irish Times *Essential reading
* Irish Examiner *A fascinating read
* The Sunday Tribune *As the 17th century showed, being a slave under a Christian master was every bit as brutal an experience as it had been for those who lived and died in their countless and nameless millions under the yoke of Roman or Greek slave owners. "To Hell or Barbados" manages to put a few names and faces on those otherwise anonymous victims
