The President was old, reclusive and fearful, yet his hold on the tiny island nation through his elite Palace Guard was tight as ever. There was no legislature, no laws, no economy to speak of, and the paper money was printed in the Palace basement.

Revolution, deception, murder, intrigue… this book tells the very human, day-by-day story of a young President and his efforts to bring justice and prosperity to the world's poorest nation.
