"Simon Schama tells the fascinating story of the African-American slaves who chose to fight for Britain - and their freedom - in the War of Independence. ... Rough Crossings tells the story of the thousands of African-American slaves who left cruel slave plantations to journey through the fires of the war to the dream of freedom in bone-chilling Nova Scotia and on to the 'utopia' of Sierra Leone."--Slip-case.
