| Publisher Description: Phillip Thomas Tucker, Ph.D., has presented the first biography about the life of a remarkable Haitian woman who became a revolutionary martyr during the Haitian War for Independence, Sanit? B?lair. She sacrificed her life for the twin goals of destroying slavery and creating the first free black republic in world history. As a seasoned lieutenant and diehard freedom fighter of the revolutionary army, young Sanit? was executed by a French firing squad in early October 1802. But, most importantly, Sanit?'s heroic legacy and memory lived on in the hearts and minds of the Haitian people, helping to inspire the resistance effort to succeed in the end. A bold woman of courage, faith, and character, Sanit? B?lair became not only a revolutionary heroine, but also an inspirational founding mother of the Republic of Haiti. |
