Story
The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint Domingue, when a group of slaves rebelled in order to secure their freedom and the end of slavery. In the midst of the French Revolution, slaves took advantage of volatile political, racial, and social circumstances. With legendary leaders like Toussaint Louverture, they eventually defeated Napoleon’s France to form the independent nation of Haiti. The Haitian Revolution had both global causes and consequences.

The Spanish-American War really only lasted about ten weeks (the buildup and decision to go to war took longer than the war itself), but a peace treaty was not signed until December of 1898. This was an event that was the tipping point for the end of the Spanish Empire and the rise of the US as a formidable player on the world stage. Not all Americans were happy with the change, with famous Americans like Mark Twain speaking out about the US occupation of the lands that it was meant to save.

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.

Texas is one of the most recognizable states in the United States of America (it is the second-largest, behind Alaska), and it also has a reputation for being unlike any other. This reputation is well-deserved, in part because of the state’s long and often contentious history. From the heyday of the Wild West and the state’s oil boom to the storied Texas Rangers and the construction of one of NASA’s primary facilities, it seems nearly impossible to fully explore everything in the state’s rich past.

Few historical events are as greatly revered and entirely misunderstood as the French Revolution that began in 1789. The memory of this complicated and lengthy political, violent uprising has been generally painted in broad - and oversimplified - strokes. While the French Revolution was certainly centered around two lavish monarchs and an enlightened common class, there was so much more going on behind the scenes.

Historians consider the Haitian Revolution the most successful slave revolt in all of history. Though many fought in the rebellion, one man ensured their victory: Toussaint Louverture. With his political savvy and leadership skills, this former slave helped the inhabitants of what was then called Saint Domingue to challenge their French oppressors.

All in all, Japan seems to be a country of paradoxes and oppositions, of yin and yang. Yet it doesn’t seem to suffer from it; instead, it is thriving, growing, and developing, and it has been doing so for a long time. From those contradictions, a sense of unity and pride arose, guiding Japanese history and civilizational development through the ages, leaving an unquestionable mark on the world heritage and mankind. But this is only the surface of an astonishing culture that deserves a deeper look.

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.

Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and genetic research supporting a hugely debated theory of the Black African origin of Egyptian civilization. Building upon extensive studies from the past four decades and their own archaeoastronomical and hieroglyphic research, the authors show how the early Black culture known as the Cattle People not only domesticated cattle but were also an advanced civilization.

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
- The defeat of Britain and a newfound respect
- Napoleon's rise and its initial effect on Saint-Domingue
- The end of the Revolution
- Lasting effects - beyond the Island
- Haiti today

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 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.

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.

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.
