New book on Trujillo

[NewsWhore]

President Leonel Fernandez headed a distinguished list of people who attended the launch of a new book about former President Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, the dictator and iron-fisted ruler of the Dominican Republic from 1930-1961. The book, called "Trujillo: A Monarch without a Crown" (Trujillo: Monarca sin corona), was written by Euclides Gutierrez Felix and published by Editora Corripio. The author said that the book contains unpublished photographs and new documents, and reveals Trujillo as a "typical expression of the Dominican people, even in his aggressiveness and intolerance." Gutierrez Felix is the only living Dominican politician who had personal contact with Trujillo, Joaquin Balaguer, Fidel Castro and Juan Bosch, for whom he served as an assistant for 22 years.
