Overview

The Zorg is a gripping work of historical nonfiction that uncovers one of the most shocking yet transformative episodes in human history. Centered on a brutal massacre aboard an 18th-century slave ship, the book reconstructs the events with meticulous research and narrative clarity, placing the reader amid the moral contradictions of an age built on commerce, empire, and human bondage. Through court records, eyewitness accounts, and historical context, Garcia Hogan brings to light how the calculated destruction of innocent lives was not merely an isolated atrocity, but a moment that forced societies to confront the true cost of slavery. Moving beyond the horror itself, The Zorg traces the far-reaching consequences of the massacre, how public outrage, legal battles, and philosophical debate rippled across Britain and the Atlantic world. The book reveals how this single event galvanized abolitionists, reshaped moral and legal thinking, and helped ignite what would become the modern human rights movement. Hogan carefully situates the tragedy within the broader struggle against slavery, showing how conscience, once awakened, challenged entrenched power and economic interests, altering the course of history. Written with scholarly authority and cinematic intensity, The Zorg is both a work of remembrance and a call to moral reflection. It speaks to readers interested in history, social justice, ethics, and the origins of abolition, offering a powerful reminder that progress is often born from confronting uncomfortable truths. If you seek to understand how one forgotten crime helped change the world and why its lessons still matter today this book is essential reading. Discover the story. Confront the past. Let history challenge your conscience.
