Description
This is the terrifying history of how Dr. François "Papa Doc" Duvalier used terrorism to reach power, and how he institutionalized terrorism as a weapon of the State. The book reports in detail the stories of the many unsuccessful attempts to end Papa Doc's inhuman tyranny and why they failed. The result of years of investigation and exclusive interviews by the author, The Price of Blood is a chilling and shocking account of how a power-mad one-time physician truly morphed from a Dr. Jekyll to a Mr. Hyde.
