Congo Jack

Based on a real, little-known event that could have changed history, Congo Jack takes place on the West Indian island of Dominica in 1802 when most of the all-black 900- man British Eighth West India Regiment rose in revolt. It's the story of an actual member of this regiment, an African soldier-slave named Congo Jack. Here is a passionate, moving love story, military action, mutiny, a court-martial trial, and exotic locales. But what makes Congo Jack so compelling is its absorbing theme of redemption, and what Congo Jack must discover about himself and the world.
