In this comprehensive historical biography, novelist Madison Smartt Bell recounts the life of Toussaint Louverture, a leader of the successful late-18th-century slave rebellion that ended centuries of colonial rule in what was to become Haiti. Bell tells how Louverture, who was born a slave, rose in the French military, how he successfully drove out the French, and drove away the British, until French troops captured him. Bell is famous as the author of a novelistic trilogy on Louverture and these events, beginning with his bestselling ALL SOULS` RISING. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
