In 1771, young Jean Baptiste Bayard returned from his studies in Paris to his Caribbean island home on St. Domingue - now the Republic of Haiti, unsure whether a life on his family's plantation would suit him. He soon meets and falls in love with the beautiful Marie Jasmine, and the two begin an exciting life together in the French colony - unaware of the drama, societal upheaval, and revolutionary war on the horizon.
This is the untold story of this era, long absent from high school history books and university lecture halls. It is the story of the Haitian people; and a triumphant revolution too far ahead of its time to avoid a tragic end. Eighty years before emancipation in America, a slave-led revolt defeated the French, British, and Spanish militaries, giving birth to a new nation from the burning embers of the richest colony in the world.
Packed with romance, war, intrigue, political betrayal, and even pirates-this historical non-fiction novel reveals an unknown period of history in the form of an irresistible page-turner. Learn how Haitian Generals, soldiers, businessmen, and former slaves without formal military or political training, outmaneuvered the combined might of the most powerful armies of the world to form the first and only Black slave republic in history.
