I knew very little about L'Ouverture going into this book, and learned a lot. The writing was engaging, and the information was very interesting.

The author is obviously biased toward the enslaved populace fighting for freedom but, honestly, how else should one be biased?

There are a few instances of racism in the book, attitudes about how "savage" the enslaved people were, etc.

Still, I highly recommend this. 4.5 stars, rounded up
