The brave people who held out in Dominica's mountain wilderness for generations against the military forces of two colonial empires have had their story well told at last. Their spirits can now be at rest. -- Adam Hochschild, author of Bury the Chains This book will long stand as the definitive account of these Maroons whom the British considered, after those in Jamaica, the major menace to their plantation system. Dominica's Maroons have finally found their chronicler. -- Richard Price, author of Maroon Societies
