Drafted into a brutal bush war, he and his friends — the “Mutoko boys” — faced madness, death, and disillusionment in a land slipping into chaos.

On a hot night in the middle of August 1791, in a wooded clearing in the mountains above the northern plain of Saint-Domingue, men and women gathered where the lanterns of the great houses could not reach them. They came on foot through the cane, slipping away from plantations whose owners counted them as property and nothing more. Some had crossed the ocean in chains and still carried the names of African towns in their mouths. Others had been born on the island and knew only the cane, the whip, and the work that killed a grown person in a handful of years.
