Reviewers
have praised “No God But Gain”:
“Stephen Chambers’ engagingly written new book will grab
readers with its narratives from the lives of New Englanders who traveled to
Cuba to participate more directly in the exploitation of the half million
enslaved Africans brought to the island after the US supposedly banned
participation in the Atlantic slave trade and played a crucial role in an era
of explosive American economic growth.”

“Attentive to intrigue, irony, and violence, this is a bold
account that moves from Boston counting houses
to Havana
consular offices to the halls of Congress, tracing the global circulation of
capital, commodities, and slaves that fueled the development of American empire
in the early Republic. No God
But Gain is full of
provocative arguments—not least that liberal trade policy went hand-in-hand
with human bondage, and that the Monroe Doctrine was designed to protect the
illegal slave trade.″
