Even as he died, he was on a typical Trujillo mission-a midnight meeting with one of his many mistresses, Moni Sanchez, at his San Cristóbal farm, 15 miles from Ciudad...
Acheson's book is a completely different genre. If the merit of Kennan's book lies in its profundity and its classic prose; that of Acheson's lies in its sensitivity.
