Riordan Roett and Richard Sacks aim to do full justice to a country and a people who are seeking to build a better future on the very questionable foundation of the Alfredo Stroessner legacy. They help the reader understand Paraguay's very tentative and incomplete transition from authoritarian rule.
The shots fired during the early morning hours of February 3, 1989, at the Asuncion headquarters of the presidential escort battalion presented the planet with its first blood-and-steel evidence that the year would be recorded, like 1848, as one of universal human liberation. The deposed government of Alfredo Stroessner had held power in Paraguay for close to 35 years, a political longevity then surpassed only by Bulgaria''s Todor Zhivkov, North Korea''s Kim ll-song, and Jordan''s King Hussein.
