Black Democracy: The Story of Haiti by H. P. Davis, while not yet possessing the shelf-life of The Art of War by Sun Tzu, or Lives by Plutarch, shines as a tome of significance about a time in western history that, sadly, has greater coverage by Hollywood than scholarly research.
While most books about this era seem to seize on a single person or group of events as the core of their treatise, Davis lays everything out for you, carefully separating the facts from his conclusions.
It is a testament to Mr. Davis that his book, after all these years, is still considered THE history book of early Haiti.
