In the late summer of 1831, in a remote section of southeastern Virginia, there took place the only effective, sustained revolt in the annals of American Negro slavery ... The revolt was led by a remarkable preacher named Nat Turner, an educated slave who felt himself divinely ordained to carry out the deed that haunts our conscience and flashes across our present like a blaze of summer lightning.

This is a controversial historical novel purporting to tell the story of Nat Turner, a black American slave who led a large slave revolt in Virginia in 1831.
