Jean-Jacques Dessalines led Haiti's revolutionary former slave army to victory 
over the French legions of Napoleon and proclaimed Haiti's independence in 
1804. European historians and apologists for slavery and colonialism have 
portrayed Dessalines as brutal and despotic. Haitian author Berthony Dupont 
sets the historical record straight in his new French-language biography of 
Haiti's founding father.
