Victoria Villalobos, the daughter of a rich businessman and power broker in the Dominican Republic, learns her father is dying of cancer in Cuidad Trujillo, the capital of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. Defying her father's order to return home as long as dictator Rafael Trujillo is in power, she travels unannounced from Paris, where she is a student. A friend of Victoria's father, an employee at the Dominican Consular office in the French capital, learns that Victoria has applied for a visa, but his message to Emilio Villalobos arrives too late. Trujillo, though, got word on time and ordered a car to meet her at the airport and bring her to his mansion. There she was prepared to spend an evening with THE CHIEF. A different beautiful Dominican woman was brought to Trujillo every night; and now Victoria Villalbos became one of those women. Victoria refused to believe Trujillo would harm a Villalobos, a view she soon learned to regret. True to form, Victoria was raped and sent home to her waiting father. Unable to bear the shame, Emilio Villalobos puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger. Ramon Villalobos, Victoria's older brother, tolerated Trujillo until the rape and suicide. Trujillo unknowingly gave Ramon the opportunity to plot against him by naming him to the Christopher Columbus Committee, charged with proving without a doubt that the Spanish explorer was buried in the Dominican Republic and not in Spain. Besides Ramon Villalobos, Trujillo named four others to the committee: Francisco Villalobos, Ramon's brother; millionaire Salvador Estrella; the Rev. Modesto Diaz, a Roman Catholic priest; and Army Gen. Octavio de la Maza. All five members shared one important common bond. Each one had been humiliated by Trujillo and brought under his control. Ramon gave them a way to redeem their self respect. Because the committee could meet at any time and in private, Ramon quickly gained their confidence and the plotting began to assassinate Trujillo. Because of inside security information, provided by General de la Maza, they were able to ambush Trujillo's car and shot him dead on a little traveled road just after dusk on the 30th of May 1961. Pleased with success, Ramon was not satisfied. It was not enough to take out the man who ruled his country with an iron hand for 31 years. He decided to try to end all dictatorships in Latin America. His dead father provided him with the perfect opportunity. Going over his Don Emilio's papers, Ramon learned his father acting on Trujillo's orders had drawn up a precise master plan to militarily control all of Latin America. Trujillo could do it economically without firing a shot. A financial wizard, Emilio Villalobos outlined a three step plan to provide the necessary funding for the project. First, he would corner the world gold market with the help of the Soviet Union and two important U.S. gold brokers. Second, he would search for centuries old Spanish gold still remaining the bellies of sunken Spanish galleons off the republic's south coast. Third, he would announce new gold and oil discoveries as a cover for the gold manipulation. With the money, he would buy up Latin America's debt from European and U.S. bankers, who are looking for any way to unload the bad paper at bargain basement prices. Ramon knew about activity at the Rosario Mine just north of Cuidad Trujillo and the off shore drilling operation, but he was unaware of the connection until he read his father's notes. Armed with the Trujillo plan, Ramon finds out it is already in motion and he decides not to stop it. But instead of taking military control of the entire region as Trujillo wanted to do, he will use it to eliminate the dictators and launch a Latin American union and common market as first proposed by South American liberator Simon Bolivar on June 22, 1826 in Panama City. Calling the dictators to Cuidad Trujillo, Ramon Villalobos gave them a simple choice to make. Either accept his plan in exchange for the debt payment or he will take ruthless control of every Latin American republic. "I won't even have to ask your permission," he shouted. They agreed, officially ending the nightmare of Trujillo and others like him. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ORDER THE REST OF THIS BOOK CONTACT NAT CARNES
