Jeremy Schipper - *Denmark Vesey's Bible: The Thwarted Revolt That Put Slavery and Scripture on Trial*
Top-notch so far. Well-documented look at Vesey's use of the bible and, more broadly, the bible around revolts and invocations of the bible in debates about slavery more generally.
But bc of the nature of this topic's sources, doubles as an excellent critical commentary on many of the sources themselves and the limits of our knowledge of the event.
