Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an unprecedented glimpse into the Haitian Revolution through the eyes of a firsthand witness, Guillaume Mauviel. A French bishop, Mauviel arrived in Saint-Domingue in 1790, just as the colony was on the cusp of a major uprising. Over the following years, he witnessed the rise and fall of Toussaint Louverture, the charismatic leader who emerged from the chaos of the revolution. As he navigated the treacherous political landscape, Mauviel's deep understanding of the complex forces at play, including the motivations of the enslaved population, allowed him to provide a unique perspective on the events unfolding around him. His account sheds light on the complexities of the revolution, illuminating the challenges of governing a diverse and volatile society amidst the struggle for freedom and self-determination. Mauviel's insights are a valuable contribution to our understanding of this pivotal moment in history.
