I recently read Black Spartacus by Sudhir Hazareesingh about Toussaint L'Ouverture and I would recommend the person of Toussaint but maybe not the book? It took me awhile to read due to the way his research and writing gave him bits and pieces of the man to piece together. It just made it really hard to read for me for some reason. The stories of the guy are fascinating, a true soldier and general, kicking the asses of the French, the Spanish, keeping the British in line and playing everyone off each other to make a united and free Haiti. He created an irregular army, through sheer force of personality and will he made them into a regular force capable of incredible logistics, absurd marches and ambushes and some quality fighting in grim conditions. I don't know if he won but it's a helluva battle
