Liberty's Exiles: American Loyalists in the Revolutionary World

Maya Jasanoff's 'Liberty's Exiles' reveals their epic global journey: from Nova Scotia to Sierra Leone, from the Bahamas to India. Discover how these 'losers' built the British Empire, sparked the first 'Back to Africa' movement, and shaped Canada. This is the story you never learned in history class—a tale of broken promises, racial paradoxes, and the birth of a new world order.
