Rough Crossings recounts the remarkable journey of thousands of African American slaves who escaped to fight for the British during the American War of Independence, highlighting their struggles and the promises made to them. Through vivid storytelling, Simon Schama explores their experiences in war-torn landscapes and icy Nova Scotia, as well as their hopes for freedom in Africa, intertwined with the efforts of notable British abolitionists.
