About this book
Tens of thousands of blacks in America at the start of the Revolutionary
War escaped from farms, plantations, and cities to reach the British who
offered the promise of emancipation in return for military service. Schama
follows their odyssey through the war and into inhospitable Nova Scotia
where thousands were betrayed.
