Paperback edition of this fascinating exploration of the previously untold story of the thousands of Irish men, women and children who were transported to Barbados and Virginia in the 17th century. 'An illuminating insight into a neglected episode of Irish history, but its significance is much broader than that. Its main achievement is to situate the story of colonialism in Ireland in the much larger context of worldwide European imperialism...that is why 'To Hell or Barbados' is such a valuable book' - Irish World

Industry Reviews

As the 17th century showed, being a slave under a Christian master was every bit as brutal an experience as it had been for those who lived and died in their countless and nameless millions under the yoke of Roman or Greek slave owners. "To Hell or Barbados" manages to put a few names and faces on those otherwise anonymous victims * Irish Echo * A fascinating read * The Sunday Tribune * Essential reading * Irish Examiner * This group [the Red Legs], made up of the descendants of 50,000 Irish men and women who were sold into the white slave trade between 1652 and 1659, have been largely ignored, apart from in Sean O'Callaghan's wonderful To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland -- Manchan Magan * Irish Times *
