Showing Toussaint Louverture: A Biography by Madison Smartt Bell

Toussaint Louverture In this fascinating biography, the first about Toussaint Louverture to appear in English in more than 50 years, Bell combines a novelist's passion for his subject with a deep knowledge of the historical milieu that produced the man known either as a martyr of the Haitian revolution or as the instigator of one of history's most savagely violent events.
