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.
