The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint Domingue, when a group of slaves rebelled in order to secure their freedom and the end of slavery. In the midst of the French Revolution, slaves took advantage of volatile political, racial, and social circumstances.

Quick

Quick read that gave enough information for me to retain and not be overwhelmed by

Good Summary of a Complicated Subject

I really liked this because they were able to cram a lot in about an hour. There are longer books about the Haitian Revolution and Haitian history. If you’re looking for details try those. If you want a quick overview of the Haitian revolution, this is great.

Keep in mind, this book is part of a series called “History in an Hour”. Be sure to manage your expectations before you buy.
