 INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR: Duane K. McCullough 8/01
Duane: Perhaps the most difficult aspect to understand in all of my historical research is my attempt to rewrite the chronology of recorded human history in using a new historical timeline argument.

 Amazon.com: Master of the Crossroads: Books: Madison Smartt Bell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Continuing his stunning historical fresco, Bell traces the intricate weave of Toussaint's campaigns with an intelligence and verve reminiscent of Shelby Foote's classic military histories, braiding his rich character studies into the larger scheme.
Bell continually integrates his history with the sacred Vodou landscape, and as events channel between crossroads, trances, dreams and bloodshed, this mesmerizing, disturbing saga of a half-forgotten war takes on the ominous outlines and biblical proportions of a prophetic vision.
Since Bell can't string their stories on a clear historical plot-line (this history is a tangle) he braids the everyday incidents and subtleties of their private lives into a central strand to which scattered public events can be tied.
