Poet and Politician of Puerto Rico
Don Luis Muñoz Marín
by Carmen T. Bernier-Grand
El Nuevo Día Book of the Year
"Dirigido a un público juvenil y escrito
en íngles, este libro resulta novedoso por concentrar sobre un aspecto
de la vida de Luis Muñoz Marín que no ha sido muy difundido; su
infancia y juventud. Interesa sobre todo lo que se dice de las relaciones con
el padre, su experiencia escolar y su primer matrimonio con Muna Lee. Incluye
fotos poco conocidas de ese primer momento." -- El Nuevo Día
"Not only an intriguing biography of Muñoz
Marín, the poet-politician responsible for engineering Puerto Rico's
status as a commonwealth of the U.S. and raising living standards for its citizens,
this book is also a history of the island during this century and an assessment
of the ongoing issue of the country's status.... a valuable introduction to
an eminent political figure." -- Booklist
