"The Amistad Mutiny" by Barbara A. Somervill recounts the harrowing true story of enslaved Africans who revolted against their captors aboard the Spanish ship Amistad in 1839. Led by the strong-willed Cinqué, the captives fought for their freedom while navigating the treacherous waters of injustice. After their desperate bid for liberty, they were captured and put on trial in the United States, sparking a national debate over slavery and human rights. The book details the legal battles and the eventual intervention of abolitionists who championed their cause, highlighting themes of resilience, bravery, and the pursuit of freedom in the face of oppression.
