A review by shirleytupperfreeman
The Kingdom on the Waves by M.T. Anderson

This is billed as a young adult book but one would have to be a pretty sophisticated young adult to get through it. It's quite good but the theme and writing style require a certain level of maturity. It tells the story of the Ethiopian Regiment during the American Revolution. The ironies of a country fighting for freedom from oppression and then continuing to oppress its own black non-citizens are well documented here.
