Murfy's Men

(1981)
A novel by

 
 
Combining real history with flights of imagination, this highly inventive novel dramatizes a little-known but important facet of the American Revolution -- the first bold attempt to liberate slaves and let them serve as free soldiers in the new nation. Along with the military action, the book includes wild and hair-raising accounts of the slave trade in west Africa, Murfy's extraordinary adventures in the middle passage and a series of amorous alliances.
