'A riveting addition to the history of the search for freedom in the Americas' - Kirkus Reviews 'A richly detailed account of a gripping human story' - H.W. Brands '[An] epic history ... A sweeping, thoughtful narrative, joining a new wave of books that make visible previously dismissed Black voices' - Carolyn Kellogg 'A gripping tale about the human need for freedom ... The story of the Berbice Rebellion begs to be told, and Kars' telling is impressive' - Martha Anne Toll 'A model for how academic history can reach a wide audience, a narrative-driven work which presents pioneering archival scholarship in which we can hear the voices of the enslaved protagonists ... Kars represents the complexities of the rebellion without romanticising it' - Bethan Fisk
