Book Review "The Fires of Jubilee" By Stephen B. Oates

In 1831, a young slave by the name of Nat Turner led the largest slave rebellion in U.S. history.

  Over the years, I have read short histories of the uprising,  but I have never come across a full account of the rebellion until now.

 "The Fires of Jubilee" by Stephen B. Oates is a well-researched and balanced biographical history of Nat Turner and the conditions that led to the bloodshed.
