"In the history of slavery and its legacy, the figure of John Brown looms large as a righteous and bloody abolitionist martyr whose insurrection against slavery polarized a nation and precipitated the Civil War. In this brilliant but long-forgotten cultural biography by one of the greatest African American intellectuals of the twentieth century, W.E.B. Du Bois re-creates the story of Brown's life and death, illuminating the enduring significance of a man who, in Frederick Douglass's words, "began the war that ended American slavery and made this a free Republic.""--BOOK JACKET.
