"If you ever want to explore the sorrows that are the reality of today's Haiti, you should start with this book. The book explores the seeds of revolution in Haiti, the attempts by soldier/statesman L'Ouverture to diplomatically secure freedom for enslaved Africans in Haiti, to final military victory secured by Dessaline. It is a well written book about a country and people just written off by Nations of the Western Hemishphere and by France. The conditions and the brutality endured by the Africans at the hands of the French were every bit as brutal and crushing as the Africans endured in the United States and elswhere. The seeds of the problems of modern-day were sown during this period and in many ways the people are still suffering."
"Revolution is an inevitability. As the possibility of ordinary people is truly exceptional if only we learn to respect that which they have done to make our freedom a reality!"
"This book captured the complexity of the Haitian revolution. It may be confusing to those who are not familiar with Haiti's history. this book was written when everybody viewed the world through economic systems. Good book though."
