(4) YA Essential Events series. The book's first chapter relates the story of rebellion by African captives aboard the Amistad. Much of the rest of the volume deals with legal battles over the Africans' plight and ownership of the ship. Tension between the U.S. and Spain over illegal slave trading is also discussed. Drawings, photographs, maps, and sidebars enhance the main text but tend to crowd it. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
