Worth reading to hear the point of view of an involved witness, August 17, 2009
This review is from: From Glory to Disgrace: The Haitian Army, 1804 - 1994 (Paperback)
From glory to disgrace is the title of the book written by an important witness : the General President Prosper Avril for 2 years not long after the departure of Baby Doc.
I am surprised that no Haitian politician has decided to submit a comment here .
I must say I am quite surprised , positively, by the intellectual analysis coming from an ex member of the Haitian Army, generally famous mostly for not being writers or analysts.
The author shows he is conscious of Haitian history , has read some of the important historians of the Haitian republic.
Of course, the author present his own point of view and clearly declares it at the beginning of the book; nevertheless, the book should be recommended for reading by all , Haitians and foreigners concerned about the destiny of this Black Republic and of its continued survival for the years to come.
