A study on the life and times of the Dominican dictator Trujillo's son Ramfis (Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Martínez (1929-1969)). The book is organized in the form of a very detailed historical chronology. It is believed that Dominican modern history began with the transition of power to Ramfis on May 31, 1961 after his father'sassassination. During his 5 months in power the Dominican people began to demand their democratic rights, something which was unthinkable under the dictatorship.
