This book is a complete history of Haiti from 1492 to the end of 1995. The first edition was and remains the most complete history of Haiti ever written in English and one of the most complete in any language. This second edition contains two more chapters as well as updated information to make it a must read for anyone interested in the history of Haiti and its people. Praise for the First "There is no work in the English language that even approaches the extravagant wealth of information the Heinls have assembled about the world's first black republic." --WASHINGTON STAR "Praised by all who have read it as the only complete and fully documented history of Haiti in any language, "Written in Blood" is certain to become a classic." --UNITED STATES NAVAL INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS
