Jean-Jacques Dessalines led Haiti's revolutionary former slave army to victory
over the French legions of Napoleon and proclaimed Haiti's independence in
1804. European historians and apologists for slavery and colonialism have
portrayed Dessalines as brutal and despotic. Haitian author Berthony Dupont
sets the historical record straight in his new French-language biography of
Haiti's founding father.
