The Black Jacobins - how I came to write this book and what is in the book, what did I think was in the book when I wrote it and what do I find in the book now.

Author

Now, what did I have in mind when I wrote this book? I had in mind writing about the San Domingo Revolution as the preparation for the revolution that George Padmore and all of us were interested in, that is, the revolution in Africa.
