But Trujillo's grasp is slipping. There is a conspiracy against him, and a Machiavellian revolution is already under way that will have bloody consequences of its own. This magisterial novel recounts the end of a regime and the terrible birth of a democracy, giving voice to the historical Trujillo and to the victims, both innocent and complicit, who were drawn into his deadly orbit. -- Publisher description UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/hol051/2001033480.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/hol041/2001033480.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/hol021/2001033480.html ER -
