Book Reviews of An Unbroken Agony: Haiti, from Revolution to the Kidnapping of a President
Book Review: A heartbreaking but important read
Summary: 5 Stars
To quote from the book:
"Where the poor were concerned, the United States invariably opposed the efforts of the poor's own governments, whenever and wherever those governments tried in any serious structured way to ameliorate the poverty of their own people. If there has ever been a circumstance in which the Americans did not take the side of the rich in efforts to quash even modest reforms to help the poor, I do not know of it."
The plight of Haiti is undeserved, shameful and mostly the result of US intervention to keep the people poor and powerless. Well-written and compelling.
Summary of An Unbroken Agony: Haiti, from Revolution to the Kidnapping of a President
On February 29, 2004, the first democratically elected president of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, was forced to leave his country. The president was kidnapped, along with his Haitian-American wife, by American soldiers and flown to the isolated Central African Republic. In An Unbroken Agony, best-selling author and social justice advocate Randall Robinson chronicles his own cross-Atlantic journey to rescue the Haitian president from captivity in Africa while also connecting the fate of Aristide?s presidency to the Haitian people?s century-long quest for self-determination.
