A Biography
by Madison Smartt Bell
Review this book!
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.

Media Reviews
"[A] well-researched and elegantly written biography....Mr. Bell's portrait of Louverture is as honest as his overall assessment of his actions is generous."
