takecoverbooks's review against another edition

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

Hard to believe this was written in 1938. The story of the Haitian Revolution is remarkable, inspiring, and brutal. If you want a document that exhaustively documents the evil of imperialism and the tenacity of post colonial reaction, read this and be infuriated.
