The subject of this study is one of the most remarkable colonial wars fought in modern history. Precipitated by the emancipating forces of the French Revolution, the struggle took place at the turn of the eighteenth century in the colony of Saint-Domingue that occupied the territory corresponding to present-day Haiti. The volume focuses on the involvement of Polish units that participated as unwitting pawns of Napoleon in the so-called Haitian War of Independence (1802-1803).
