An Appeal to History: The Truth about a Singular LawsuitUniversal-Publishers, 1999 - 304 halaman Written by the former president of Haiti. "Prosper Avril is the best chance for a genuine democracy in Haiti. He is intelligent and respected by his troops" (New York Times, October 8, 1988). This is a statement about Prosper Avril after his accession to power in Haiti. However, this career officer, born on December 12, 1937 at Thomazeau, a tiny village not far from Port-au-Prince, first in his class at the Military Academy of Haiti, and qualified in law, did not succeed in fulfilling his mission of introducing 'irreversible democracy' into Haiti. In contrast, he was eventually obliged to resign and was afterwards brought before court, accused of being personally responsible for the mistreatment of fellow citizens during his time in office. What really did happen? |
