Publisher's Synopsis
With a Foreword by Gabriel Garcia Marquez A unique, intensely personal homage to Torrijos, the charismatic leader who callenged the Panamanian oligarchy, redistributed land and wealth and died, allegedly, at the hands of the CIA. These photographs and text are meant as a corrective to history - Marquez and Iturbide argue for Torrijos as a flawed hero in the footsteps of Simon Bolivar, an innovator who opened schools and an initiator of widespread social and economic reform.
