"This book is an implacable referendum against
dictator ship. Its sole ideology is to proclaim freedom
of though and expression. This book must be read by
anyone who wants to know, especial ly by the young who
should know, because it is difficult for them to imagine
the unthinkable".
Haiti-Observateur,
New York, USA
"Written in a soft literary style, yet concise,
detailed and captiva ting […], this book remains
the most acerbic discourse on the vicious cruelty of
a political mass mired in cynicism".
Jonathan
Demme, Filmaker
and Producer, USA
"Fort-Dimanche, Dungeon of Death is a vivid memory
of the most horrendous kind of mental and physical cruelties
that we can inflict on our fellow man. Patrick Lemoine's
harrowing tale about his years of imprisonment in one
of the worst dungeons in the world will stand as a constant
reminder that our basic freedoms, when taken for granted,
can be trampled by the very ones elected or selected
among us to be sentinels of society".

Dougé, M.D.,
Pour Haiti, Paris, France
It is a disturbing testimonial on the physical and moral
degrada tion of human beings orchestrated by the militia
of a totalitarian regime. Patrick Lemoine’s surgical
surgical descrip tion of a long descent into Duvalier’s
dungeons leaves us com pletely numb. Other books have
been written on the subject, but none offers such a
detailed account of this historically useful legacy.

It is necessary to read this book in its entirety, even
when you are tempted to hide it, to bury it, as if it
would prevent forever such horrible acts from occurring
again… |
