• Everyone should learn about Toussaint Louverture - although being a book written in 1938 I find the Black Jacobins hard to navigate it's worth persevering with because of the leadership and cultural lessons it provides.

  • To some extent it is a military history book. Not always the easiest reading. I've often thought that a Netflix-style series about him would be a great idea.

    I read it pre alt-right/Brexit/Trump. Now the context of the time he was writing seems even more poignant.
