À propos de cet audio

A classic and impassioned account of the first revolution in the Third World.

This powerful, intensely dramatic book is the definitive account of the Haitian Revolution of 1794-1803, a revolution that began in the wake of the Bastille but became the model for the Third World liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of master toward slave was commonplace and ingeniously refined. And it is the story of a barely literate slave named Toussaint L'Ouverture, who led the black people of San Domingo in a successful struggle against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces and, in the process, helped form the first independent nation in the Caribbean.

This is a highly recommended book for anyone who is a history buff. I remember back in high school learning about how Haiti came to be but it was relegated to a paragraph at most with one main detail and that was the slave revolt. There was no other context besides that. This book went into detail about the situation before the revolt, during and after while describing the people involved and what led to the atrocities from both sides. This is a book that I could listen to over and over.

Enlightening read
