What is The Fires of Jubilee : Nat Turner's Fierce Rebellion about?

The bloody slave rebellion led by Nat Turner in Virginia in 1831 and the savage reprisals that followed shattered beyond repair the myth of the contented slave and the benign master, and intensified the forces of change that would plunge America into the Civil War. The true story behind the major motion picture The Birth of a Nation , this acclaimed and definitive history is now reissued with the complete text of Turner’s riveting firsthand account, “The Confessions of Nat Turner.” In The Fires of Jubilee , Stephen B. Oates, the award-winning biographer of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr., presents a gripping and insightful narrative of the rebellion—the complex, gifted, and driven man who led it, the social conditions that produced it, and the legacy it left. Here is the dramatic re-creation of the turbulent period that marked a crucial turning point in America’s history. ** Review "A penetrating reconstruction of the most disturbing and crucial slave uprising in America's history.... A vivid and excellent narrative account." — New York Times "Oates writes in a vivid... fashion constructing a meaningful historical context." — Library Journal From the Back Cover The
