　　In a remarkable feat of historical detective work, David

Robertson illuminates the shadowy figure who planned a slave

rebellion so daring that, if successful, it might have changed the

face of the antebellum South. This is the story of a man who, like

Nat Turner, Marcus Garvey, and Malcolm X, is a complex yet seminal

hero in the history of African American emancipation.

Denmark Vesey was a charasmatic ex-slave--literate, professional,

and relatively well-off--who had purchased his own freedom with the

winnings from a lottery. Inspired by the success of the

revolutionary black republic in Haiti, he persuaded some nine

thousand slaves to join him in a revolt. On a June evening in 1822,

having gathered guns, and daggers, they were to converge on

Charleston, South Carolina, take the city's arsenal, murder the

populace, burn the city, and escape by ship to Haiti or Africa.

When the uprising was betrayed, Vesey and seventy-seven of his

followers were executed, the matter hushed by Charleston's elite

for fear of further rebellion. Compelling, informative, and often

disturbing, this book is essential to a fuller understanding of the

struggle against slavery.
