Sobre IBD

Fight for Freedom is the story of those indomitable victims of slavery who, during 200 years, resisted and died to keep the spirit of individual liberty alive. Tacky, Three-finger Jack and Samuel Sharpe spring vividly to life along with lesser-known, sometimes nameless men and women. This book is full of insights into an important aspect of Jamaican History.
