*Author of the explosive new book An Unbroken Agony: Haiti, From Revolution
to the Kidnapping of a President*

*In An Unbroken Agony, **Robinson majestically chronicles the convulsive
saga of Haiti -- from Columbus' arrival in 1492 ... to the fearlessness of
the slave revolutionaries who defeated the armies of Napoleon Bonaparte in
1804, ending slavery and wresting from France the most valuable colony of
any European power ... to the US-led operation removing from power
Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti's first democratically-elected president and
his entire government in 2004. *
**
*Randall Robinson, a celebrated civil rights and anti-apartheid activist,
author of the best seller The Debt, and founder of TransAfrica Forum, lives
