Description: "Drawing on archives and notes from interviews he had brought back from Haitian war of independence, a former high-ranking officer with a liberal bent offered in 1819 a first analysis of what happened and its significance: the strength demonstrated by an army of liberation, European troops plagued by yellow fever, the coming of a new era and society for Haiti.
