About this book
Written by a journalist and family insider, "the most intimate and revealing examination to date" of the Duvaliers and their Haitian legacy. ( Publishers Weekly)
Recounts the depredations and corruption of the Duvalier regime in Haiti, from the election of Papa Duvalier in 1957 to the exile of his son, Jean Claude. Written by the senior editor of the Haiti Times and the sister-in-law of Baby Doc's successor, this account details the excesses of the dictatorship and the grim state in which the Duvaliers left the country when the regime was finally overthrown.
