Riveting! Expose of a triad of evil dictators!

This is a shocking story of Castro's Cuba, & the brutal dictators in Haiti & the Dominican Republic. It delves into Castro & Che, the relationship to Haiti & Dominican Republic, & the USA's almost blind diplomatic ties. I learned a lot I had never known and was shocked! There are a lot of really interesting pictures including Che G. dead with a toe tag after being shot by military police in Central America. It is a very in-depth read covering personalities, their family life, their brutality, and much more. This is really well written & researched, lots of footnotes of resources. I read this on a whim & I'm very glad I did, it was really eye opening to a lot of things I'd always wondered about, things you just don't hear the whole story about. I never even had heard of the insane, murdering dictator of Haiti, Papa Doc Duvalier! What a horror story! Its amazing the atrocities that whole countries full of people endure with no relief.
