Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier's hold on power in Haiti, initially
tenuous, grew stronger as American confrontations with Cuba under
President Kennedy fostered a fear that Communism could sweep Haiti
if "Papa Doc" were ousted. Nonetheless, several groups of daring
rebels took on the formidable task of overthrowing the dictator.
The mini-revolutions had little chance of success, but one thing
was guaranteed: brutal retribution if the rebels were caught by the
Duvalier regime and its militia, the Tontons Macoutes. For the
first time, journalist Bernard Diederich reveals the names and
personal stories of these rebels, adding color and detail to the
tangled storyline of the Duvalier years. This volume continues the
chilling history begun in The Price of Blood, which chronicles the
years 1957-1961.
