Notes from the Last Testament is a ground-level journalistic account of the deterioration and collapse of the Aristide government, written from sustained on-the-ground presence in port au prince, the provinces, and Cité Soleil. The book is organized as a near-daily chronicle — the narrative voice is that of a reporter who came to Haiti sympathetic to lavalas and grew increasingly horrified by what he witnessed.
