The gallery of photos is a wonderful, interesting and truly crushing addition to the book. Showing the smiling happy duchesses and their family – all unaware of the horrible and awful fate that awaits them. It was a deep blow to put faces to the names and be hit with the deep sense of true loss and pain for what happened to Tatiana and her family. It’s very easy with history to lose touch with the fact that these people lived and breathed and had true and personal feelings. As an historian I find myself occasionally looking past the humanity of the figures I’m studying and think of them as characters rather than people… it’s good to be reminded through sources like this that that isn’t the case and these people lived and breathed, laughed and cried as we do.

Apocalypse 1692 is a worthy addition to any collection focusing on Jamaican history, slavery, and colonial life in the second half of the 1600s.

Don Hagist's remarkable book is testament to one of the darkest periods in the history of the human race - when people were enslaved just as they had been during the darkest days of the Roman Empire; the disturbing thing for me is the realisation that whilst you read this book, you cannot help but think about the countless millions of people still subject to such abuse and slavery elsewhere in the world today, the world in which we live. A fascinating collection of advertisements that will almost certainly give you an uncomfortable feeling of wretchedness that one group of people could do this to another group.
