Toussaint L'Ouverture was "one of the most extraordinary people of the eighteenth century-and one of the forgotten heroes of history." Growing from a weak baby and bookish boy into the driving force behind the first successful slave revolt in history, L'Ouverture became governor-general of the island St. Domingue, now called Haiti. His victory shook the foundations of slavery around the world, and his example inspired his people to fight for their independence from French rule. Full-color art.
