Aristide was the legally and popularly elected president presiding over a democratic Haiti- their first freely elected president in 200 years of independence. His supporters say he was a victim of a coup d'état on Feb. 29, 2004. Aristide accuses the United States, and France of ‘kidnapping’ him and his wife when they were put aboard a U.S.-chartered jet headed to Africa.”

In the year following Aristide’s banishment, Haiti has been politically unstable and ravaged by rampant violence. The country may be placed under UN trusteeship for the next 25 to 40 years by the same countries Haiti has fought to gain its independence from. Innocent poor civilians literally eat mud to survive. Peaceful protesters are being shot and killed by the police. The death toll has risen to 278 sense September (2004). Thousands of Aristide supporters have been jailed for months without a trial and some without formal charges. Former Prime Minister Yvon Neptune is one of them. He blames Washington for undermining Aristide with economic sanctions.

Britt recounts the events leading up to the coup against Aristide in his new book “Ring Of Angels.” The author first met Aristide in 1993 and soon became a frequent visitor to his country. During one of his missionary visits, Britt witnessed first hand a foiled plot and an attempt to assassinate the then president Aristide. Undeterred, Dr Minshall continued to work on his plan for the re-engineering of the Haitian economic model, which was under serious consideration by Aristide. The author left Haiti narrowly escaping the country before the coup and ensuing violence erupted.

Dr. Minshall tells the whole story and much more in his fascinating new book “Ring Of Angels.” The author truncates a four month trip to Haiti into five days of non stop action, adventure, and drama. Other than the names being changed, “Ring Of Angels” is a true accounting of Dr. Minshall’s experiences. The author will be signing books and lecturing at the Pratt Public Library and at Books-A-Million in March (details below).
