I can’t say that I’m an expert in any way, shape or form when it comes to what are considered some of the best English-language reads on all the various aspects of Haiti’s complex history. However, considering just how packed with detail this work is, it’s genuinely very hard to imagine just how anyone can possibly top Daut’s work here if they’re looking for information on Henry Christophe in any great depth. This feels as comprehensive a biography for the only King of Haiti that one could possibly ask for, and then some.
