Book excerpt: 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. As his personal slave, he would witness first-hand the barbaric splendour of the imperial court, as well as experience the daily terror of a cruel regime. Gripping, immaculately researched, and brilliantly realised, WHITE GOLD reveals an explosive chapter of popular history, told with all the pace and verve of one of our finest historians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited with an introduction and notes by Dr. Robert Brown. The full terror of white slavery practiced by the Muslim Barbary Pirates comes to dramatic life in this enthralling personal account from one of their most famous captives, Thomas Pellow. From the sixteenth to nineteenth century, the Muslim Barbary Pirates captured over a million Europeans at sea and through raiding parties along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines. The victims were then transported back to North Africa, where they were sold as slaves or sent further east into the Ottoman Empire's heartland. First published in 1740, this astounding book details Pellow's life as a slave in the Muslim world, starting from his capture at sea at the age of eleven. Captured by the Barbary Pirates when they were at the peak of their power, Pellow's account of the two decades spent serving the Sultan of Morocco, Moulay Ismail, and his successor, became of the most important eyewitness accounts of this period. His book contains astounding details of the day-to-day terror that was white slavery in the Muslim world. It tells of the intimate court affairs of the Sultan, and the vicious, dangerous nature of Barbary society. Pellow also spares no expense explaining that Sephardic Jews played a major role in the slave trade-revealing that they were ever present as interpreters, bankers, and even high-level Barbary government officials. Pellow's remarkable career took him from the lowest slave status to one of the most senior slave courtiers in the Sultan's palace, granting him unprecedented access to the state's workings-and also, ultimately, allowing him to escape back to Europe. This remarkable book remains one of the greatest real-life adventure stories ever told. The reader will be shocked and also moved to laughter and tears by the deeds and antics described herein-but will be held captive by this fascinating work to the very end.
