Dylan’s Reviews > The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution > Status Update

Thoughts + Feelings: I preferred the beginning where C.L.R.

As the fires died down, the writing becomes a melange of geopolitical drama and dialogue between revolutionary idols, which is less enthralling.
