A shocking book on the DUVALIER dictatorship. This is a first-hand account of Haiti. The author Jean Florival immerses readers in the heart of the dictatorship, in the intimacy of people and things. Revelations, intrigues, love affairs, scenes of life and death, portraits, unusual landscapes, humor and sarcasm... in order to bear witness to the tragedy of a people.

According to political scientist Sauveur Pierre-Étienne, DUVALIER The Hidden Face of Papa Doc has the merit of revealing facts that a privileged witness must share with his fellow citizens, in order to help them pull themselves together and have the courage to look at themselves objectively, without passion.
