Jean-Bedel Bokassa was president and then emperor of the Central African Republic.. He remains famous throughout the world. Jean-Barthelemy, his first grandson, shares for the first time his testimony of this family saga, which is just as exceptional as it is unknown.
His mother, Martine, escapes from her native Vietnam to Bangui where she finds an unknown but famous father. She discovers with stupor that an impostor already occupies her place within her father’s palace… The author describes events without concession, the austerity of the presidential court, the failed coups d’etats, the coronation of his grandfather, the putsch of the Giscardien Elysée and tells the secrets of the famous diamonds affair.
As the reader turns the pages, the intimate story of a family unfolds; a story that puts Martine and her children up against tremendous acts of bravery. Jean-Barthelemy Bokassa shows us how he manages to get through life in a world where his name is his only legacy.
