"Although dozens of authors have attempted to capture the meaning
of and explain how Haiti won its independence from France, this
fast-paced narrative is an excellent modern treatment that offers a
welcome micro-examination of the day-to-day events that turned
Toussaint Louverture from a loyal French governor into a formidable
independence leader. Essential. All levels/libraries." --CHOICE "It
is readable and lively, and details an important and little-studied
episode that had important implications for the long-term success
of Napoleon and on the territorial expansion of the United
States."--Stewart R. King, author of Blue Coal or Powdered Wig:
Free People of Color inPreRevolutionary Saint Domingue and editor
of Encyclopedia of Free Blacks and People of Color in the
Americas.
