Excerpt

There are several reasons for writing a novel about Haitian revolution of 1791-1803. Unlike the revolutions of the sort Tom Paine called "little more than a change of persons," the Haitian revolution was of indisputable importance: the only successful revolution in history," according to C.L.R. James.
