How One British Family Got Rich (and Stayed Rich) from Sugar and Slavery. The story of the British Empire and slavery told through one family of the landed gentry, Drax of Drax Hall is a searing exposé of how a single British family built - and preserved - its fortune through centuries of slavery, land ownership, and imperial exploitation. ‘Drax of Drax Hall is not just a look into the dark sources of one family’s fortune; it is an indictment of a nation’s refusal to reckon with its past. Lashmar’s book is a necessary, damning reminder that the ghosts of empire are not distant – they are living, breathing and, in some cases, still collecting rent.’ - The Observer
