Amazing Grace tells the story of the remarkable life of the
abolitionist William Wilberforce (1759 -1833). This accessible
biography chronicles Wilberforce's extraordinary role as a human
rights activist, cultural reformer, and member of Parliament. At
the centre of this heroic life was a passionate twenty year fight
to abolish the British slave trade, a battle Wilberforce won in
1807, as well as efforts to abolish slavery itself in the British
colonies, a victory achieved just three days before his death in
1833. Metaxas discovers in this unsung hero a man of whom it can
truly be said: he changed the world. Before Wilberforce, few
thought slavery was unjust. After Wilberforce, most societies in
the world came to see it as a great moral wrong.
