Nightmare Along the River Nile
by Suzanna E. Nelson, 2010
Source: www.amazon.com – review by an independent reader
‘A compelling story that the world should know’
‘Very few books have evoked such emotion. “Nightmare Along the River Nile: A Story of Twentieth Century Slavery” brought me to tears. The compassion that Edgar and his friends have for each other is extraordinary. The author, Suzanna E. Nelson has done a magnificent job in bringing attention to a very serious issue and human tragedy; modern day slavery.
This book is highly recommended if you are at all concerned about what happens to innocent humans beings against their will. Most of their stories go uncovered by the mainstream media. A must read to change some of the injustices in the world today.’
