The Zorg by Siddharth Kara
A Tale of Greed and Murder That Inspired the Abolition of Slavery
The Zorg recounts the true story of an 1780 Dutch slave ship that, after coming under British command, embarked with hundreds of enslaved people aboard. When the vessel ran low on water, crew members resorted to a brutal decision that led to a high-profile legal case in England and exposed the violence of the transatlantic slave trade. The book reconstructs the voyage, the lives of those involved, and the episode’s role in galvanizing early abolitionist efforts.
