Review of 'The many-headed hydra' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I'm reading Tacky's Revolt by Vincent Brown so I went back to this book and reread a few chapters. I remember how hard it was to read the first time around mostly because of how dense the histories are. But that was younger me getting in the way. I think I might reread the full book soon.
