The largest, and only successful, slave revolt in history took place in Haiti shortly after the French Revolution. First organized by a voodoo priest, the rebellion soon came under the leadership of an educated, Catholic slave named Toussaint Louverture -- a man of such military and political skill that he was referred to by contemporaries as the "Black Napoleon".

About the Author:
Martin Ros, a well-known writer, editor and radio personality in Holland, has had a lifelong fascination with the Caribbean. His previous books include Herves' Lives and Bloody Night at Mayerling.
From Library Journal:
Toussaint Louverture, the leader of the slave revolt in 1791 that successfully fought French, Spanish, and British armies and eventually established the Haitian republic, is one of the more famous names in black history. A brilliant leader, tactician, and statesman, Louverture has been the subject of much interest over the years. Ros's book, first published in Amsterdam in 1991, is not only the story of Louverture but of the conditions leading to the slave revolts and the shifting social and geopolitical alliances that affected the outcome of the revolt. Ros, a Dutch writer and radio personality, has produced a popular history, suitable for general readers and one that makes fascinating reading. Recommended for public libraries.
