The Slaves Who Defeated Napoléon: Toussaint Louverture and

The Slaves Who Defeated Napoléon: Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian War of Independence, 1801–1804 (Atlantic Crossings)

In this ambitious book, Girard employs the latest tools of the historianâ€™s craft, multi-archival research in particular, and applies them to the climactic yet poorly understood last years of the Haitian Revolution. Haiti lost most of its archives to neglect and theft, but a substantial number of documents survive in French, U.S., British, and Spanish collections, both public and private. In all, this book relies on contemporary military, commercial, and administrative sources drawn from nineteen archives and research libraries on both sides of the Atlantic.
