| The last decade has seen a welcome expansion of scholarship on the impact of the Haitian Revolution in the Atlantic world.

Organized chronologically through chapters on the Washington, Adams, and Jefferson administrations, the work effectively analyses the strands of thinking that generated varying and at times sharply contradictory policies. |
