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.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. In the annals of Latin American politics, Omar Torrijos of Panama was a David against Goliath, a charismatic leader who challenged the landed oligarchy and redistributed land and wealth. He died tragically in a 1981 plane crash widely rumored to be the work of the CIA.This unique, intensely personal homage by two giant talents?the great Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide and the Nobel Prize-winning Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez?shows Torrijos as the man behind the story. Never-before-published photographs and never-before-told personal reminiscences offer up candles of memory and understanding and a correction to history. Torrijos? friend describes a moody, lonely president drinking whiskey all night, and in pre-dawn, summoning one of six different women he knew to keep away the demons. In their eyes, Torrijos is understood not as a dictator who silenced opposition, closed the media, ran up debt, and turned a blind eye to corruption, but as a flawed hero in the footsteps of Simon Bolivar: the first leader to advocate for the poor, yet an innovator in schools and jobs who lured foreign investment to create a regional financial center, and a historical giant whose greatest legacy to his people was the Canal Treaty, signed with President Jimmy Carter in 1977.This is a memoir about a man ahead of his time.Graciela Iturbide has received many honors, including a W. Eugene Smith Grant in 1987 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1988, published numerous books, and has held major exhibitions around the world.One of the world?s greatest writers and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude, a defining classic of twentieth-century literature, Colombian-born Gabriel Garcia Marquez is the winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature.
