Obsessive, brilliant, and tortured, Nikola Tesla was lauded for his invention of the alternating current (AC) and other significant contributions to science. His claim that “harnessing the forces of nature was the only worthwhile scientific endeavor" both impressed and enraged the scientific community. Eventually his peers could no longer dismiss his eccentricities and began to view him as a crackpot - a potentially dangerous one.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 34
The narrative of the Korean War in the West, and particularly in the United States, tells the tale of a conflict between two global superpowers and competing ideologies in a far-flung corner of the globe. The reality is that the wheels of motion that drove the country to war in 1950 began turning long before American boots set foot on Korean soil. The heart of the conflict was a civil war between a population arbitrarily divided by colonization and the global geopolitics at the end of the Second World War.

Philippe Girard shows how Toussaint Louverture transformed himself from lowly freedman into revolutionary hero as the mastermind of the bloody slave revolt of 1791. By 1801, Louverture was governor of the colony where he had once been a slave. But his lifelong quest to be accepted as a member of the colonial elite ended in despair: he spent the last year of his life in a French prison cell. His example nevertheless inspired anticolonial and black nationalist movements well into the 20th century.

The successful 1776 revolt against British rule in North America has been hailed almost universally as a great step forward for humanity. But the Africans then living in the colonies overwhelmingly sided with the British. In this trailblazing book, Gerald Horne shows that in the prelude to 1776, the abolition of slavery seemed all but inevitable in London, delighting Africans as much as it outraged slaveholders, and sparking the colonial revolt.

Father of the novelist Alexandre Dumas, Alex Dumas has become, through his son's books, the model for a captivating modern protagonist: The wronged man in search of justice. Born to a black slave mother and a fugitive white French nobleman in Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti), Alex Dumas was briefly sold into bondage but then made his way to Paris where he was schooled as a sword-fighting member of the French aristocracy. He was only 32 when he was given command of 53,000 men, the reward for series of triumphs that many regarded as impossible, and then topped his previous feats by leading a raid up a frozen cliff face....

One of the darkest and cruelest chapters in the history of the United States occurred when the nation’s young government decided to remove the native peoples from their lands in the name of profit. Having helped settlers for hundreds of years, five Native American tribes found it increasingly more difficult to relate to, and trust, the country that had once acted as their allies. The native peoples had fought alongside the Americans to gain freedom from England, the nation that the colonists deemed oppressive and unfair.

Publisher's Summary
Explore How the Slaves Freed Themselves in the Haitian Revolution
The Haitian Revolution was a slave rebellion that began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, now known as Haiti. On this small island, the tyrants were the slave owners, people who not only denied their slaves freedom, but felt justified in killing them.
The Haitian Revolution began to change the way slaves were viewed all over the world. Although it took nearly another 100 years to eradicate slavery in the west, the parallels between what the Americans and French had done to the slaves was impossible to ignore. The Haitian Revolution was the first and only time that a slave rebellion resulted in a new state.
Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include:
- The wealth from Saint-Domingue
- Beginning of the end of the French Colony
- Planning of one of the most historic revolutions in history
- The Revolution begins
- The Revolution spreads
- Ripples of events in Europe
- The abolishment of slavery and the British response
- Toussaint Louverture's rise to power

Bad editing
For such a short book you’d think at least ONE PERSON would have listened to this before publishing?! The narrator cleared his throat, repeated himself and YAWNED MID SENTENCE lmfao
Also the writing was definitely from an outsiders (colonizers) perspective. “Four hurricanes hit. Villages destroyed. Thousands died”
And the first half of the book my eyes glazed over because every other word was “slaves”. Then it was “former slaves”. Don’t deny people their humanity by never calling them people. I’m not sure why all I see are soaring reviews of this book but I guess you get what you pay for with this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This was a great book! It helped me understand the importance of Haiti prior to gaining independence from France and why the country is in its state today. The story is heartbreaking but also empowering and reading it will make you want to know more about Haiti and what can be done to help its citizens.

This book was a true pleasure to listen to. This author is the kind of historian who deserves to be teaching high school students (I mean this as a compliment) because while makes sure to include all relevant details about the Haitian revolution, he makes this book read like a fascinating story. This is a wonderful and well developed book, suitable for both laymen and scholars.

Tough to stay interested..
There was no editing of this reading. So it was super distracting. The narrator would cough every 30 min or so. He would yawn. Mess up saying words and go back and repeat them.
—it was strange and distracting.
He wasn’t the most interesting of speaker / narrator in general but the story should be interesting enough to keep you into it. But it was tough to follow. And as soon as you would get back into the book .. then he would cough or yawn again, and I was out of the book again

Another point of view
Good book, allot of detail which I might have missed from reading other books of this nature. The book seemed a little bias towards the planter class in my opinion. I got the feeling that the Insurgents or slaves that revolted where more interested in seeking revenge than their freedom. Yet it was a pretty accurate description on how things might have been back then in Haiti.

What a scary place. The information about Haiti's history high lights what a poor job the press, and our government, does in keeping us in the know.

Excellent review of the incredible political history and consequences of Haitian politics. No wonder the situation in Haiti is so bad in clouding the natural disasters.

Revolutionary Book
Any additional comments?
This book contains lots of fascinating tidbits about the history of Haiti which many people have probably never heard before (did you know the US once feared invasion by Haiti?). It gives a very complete and fairly balanced view of the good, bad, and ugly of Haiti's history in the first half of the book then gives a lot of political background towards the second half.
