Antoliano Peralta Romero, the Dominican Republic’s Minister of Justice, has released a new book titled ‘Después de Trujillo: Un lustro convulso, 1961-1966’. The work provides a reconstruction of the transformative five-year period following the death of dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The book examines key political and social events, including the administration of Juan Bosch, the 1963 coup d'état, the Triumvirate, the April 1965 Revolution, the United States military intervention, and the 1966 election of Joaquín Balaguer. It also addresses the constitutional reforms and legal frameworks of that era. During the book’s presentation in Santo Domingo, historians and experts praised the work as a “well-documented reconstruction of events” that utilizes testimonies from significant figures such as Milagros Ortiz Bosch and Rafael (Fafa) Taveras. Further analysis emphasizes Peralta’s use of a legal perspective to explore struggles over state organization and the legitimacy of authority.
