This biography of England's heroic abolitionist commemorates the 200th anniversary of the ending of slavery in the United Kingdom

William Wilberforce (1759-1833) has been hailed as a one of society's great reformers. His great goal was the abolition of the slave trade and of slavery in England, and in Amazing Grace, the true story of his remarkable life and meaningful accomplishments leap off the page. Beginning with Wilberforce's religious conversion in 1784 that led him to a life of activism grounded in his deep Christian faith, this compelling historical biography chronicles his extraordinary contributions to the world, primarily his 20-year fight to abolish the British slave trade, a battle he won in 1807. He was also instrumental in passing legislation to abolish slavery in the British colonies, a victory achieved just three days before his death in 1833.
