Harriet Tubman

"Even more remarkable than her legend" (Newsday), this definitive, impeccably researched biography uncovers Harriet Tubman as a singular, complex figure. Beyond her celebrated role as an Underground Railroad conductor, the book explores Tubman's multifaceted identity: "General" to John Brown, "Moses" to the enslaved, and a formidable trickster to slaveholders. Praised for its compelling narrative and "sweeping, historical vision of slavery" (NPR's Fresh Air), it unveils a woman whose extraordinary life defies simple categorization.
