Thirteen years later, Haitian rebels declared independence from France after the first - and only - successful slave revolution in history. Much of the success of this uprising can be credited to one man, Toussaint Louverture - a figure about whom surprisingly little is known." "In this biography, the first about Toussaint to appear in English in more than fifty years, Madison Smartt Bell combines a novelist's passion for his subject with a deep knowledge of the historical milieu that produced the man. Toussaint has been known either as a martyr of the revolution or as the instigator of one of history's most savagely violent events. Bell shatters this binary perception, producing a clear-eyed picture of a complicated figure."--BOOK JACKET.
