‘An untold story of colonial history, both epic and intimate, and a thrilling revelation’ Adam Rutherford
‘Mind-blowing . . . this is how history should be told’ Benjamin Zephaniah
In this groundbreaking new history, Caroline Dodds Pennock recovers the long-marginalised stories of the Indigenous Americans who – as enslaved people, diplomats, explorers, servants and traders – left a profound impact on European civilisation in the ‘Age of Discovery’. On Savage Shores is a sweeping account of power and influence in America and Europe – one which could forever change the way we understand our global history.
