Publisher's Summary:
Explore How the Slaves Freed Themselves in the Haitian Revolution
The Haitian Revolution was a slave rebellion that began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, now known as Haiti. On this small island, the tyrants were the slave owners, people who not only denied their slaves freedom, but felt justified in killing them.
The Haitian Revolution began to change the way slaves were viewed all over the world. Although it took nearly another 100 years to eradicate slavery in the west, the parallels between what the Americans and French had done to the slaves was impossible to ignore. The Haitian Revolution was the first and only time that a slave rebellion resulted in a new state.

Excellent, Engaging Story That Needs To Be Heard
The story of the successful slave rebellion. This work is very engaging, and the subject is rarely studied by today's students. I have recommended this book to many people, it is really great.
Important History
This was a great book! It helped me understand the importance of Haiti prior to gaining independence from France and why the country is in its state today. The story is heartbreaking but also empowering and reading it will make you want to know more about Haiti and what can be done to help its citizens.
Another point of view
Good book, allot of detail which I might have missed from reading other books of this nature. The book seemed a little bias towards the planter class in my opinion. I got the feeling that the Insurgents or slaves that revolted where more interested in seeking revenge than their freedom. Yet it was a pretty accurate description on how things might have been back then in Haiti.
Great & Detailed
This book was a true pleasure to listen to. This author is the kind of historian who deserves to be teaching high school students (I mean this as a compliment) because while makes sure to include all relevant details about the Haitian revolution, he makes this book read like a fascinating story. This is a wonderful and well developed book, suitable for both laymen and scholars.
Great Haiti History
A great book that gives you a good background on the true history of Haiti. Helps you see things from the French and Haitian, black and white perspective.
