The Difinitive Work on the Subject

Dr. Ott was one of my history professors at the University of North Alabama--a beautiful regional university where he spent his academic career. THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION is the definitive work on the subject and deserves a high place on any reading list concerned with Caribbean history.

A Succinct, all inclusive work, Highly Recommended

This is a wonderful book. It gets to the facts and gives all of them in a cohesive manner. Nothing is left out but the language is efficent. It is not boring, but rather an extremely helpful research tool. I recommend this book.

Very Thorough, Very Good

As an avid fan of Caribbean history, I claim this book to be one of the best I have ever read. It is a must for anyone interested in the Haitian Revolution on Saint Domingue. Mr. Ott thoroughly covers the revolution from start to finish. His writing style is efficient and to the point. The book analyzes the causes and effects of each stage of the revolution from every possible view point and deals in depth with the leading figures of this event. I highly recommend this book.
