It was the first book on the trade since ''The American Slave Trade: An Account of Its Origin, Growth and Suppression'' published in 1900 by [[John Randolph Spears]]. It had a narrative format and was widely recognized in the popular press at the time including [[Time]] magazine and the [[New York Times]] and was praised in academic articles. The New York Times review indicated that its subject had "special current overtones". One of the chapters, ''The Middle Passage'' was published separately in [[American Heritage]] magazine, also in 1962.
