Breathtaking. [Rasmussens] scholarly detective work reveals a fascinating narrative of slavery and resistance, but it also tells us something about history itselfabout how fiction can become fact, and how history is sometimes nothing more than erasure. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Deeply researched, vividly written, and highly original. Eric Foner

Historian Daniel Rasmussen reveals the long-forgotten history of Americas largest slave uprising, the New Orleans slave revolt of 1811. In an epic, illuminating narrative, Rasmussen offers new insight into American expansionism, the path to Civil War, and the earliest grassroots push to overcome slavery.
