Summary

"Now in its fourth edition, The Saga of the Companies adds to the global understanding of a key aspect of the Pan-African diaspora, for which the first edition of this volume (1978) and its subsequent publications have become definitive source documents. It charts the arrival in Trinidad of former American slaves, ensured their freedom by the British in return for taking up arms against their former masters in the War of 1812"--Back cover.
