What I've dedicated my life to is revenge.

A brand new drama based on the best-selling novel.

They think they're better than us.

Who do you think you are?

I'm going to prove to them that they're wrong.

She's punishing me.

You destroyed my family.

I will not rest until I've destroyed yours.

Okay, Justin Marazzi.

Thanks so much for coming on my show.

Thanks so much.

Great to be here, Coleman.

So I'm a huge fan of your recent book, Captive and Companions. I think, in my opinion,

it's the undisputed best and most comprehensive book that exists on the topic of the history of slavery in the Islamic world. And I've read several other such books.

I mean, the first thing that strikes me as interesting is that it's still so clearly possible to write the comprehensive account of this topic because there are so few books on it

relative to, say, slavery in the Atlantic world,

anywhere in the Americas, right? No one could publish a book on American slavery tomorrow

that was leaps and bounds more comprehensive than any other book on the subject because

there's just been too many books on it, right?

Yeah.
