I will be truthful i dont know much about the actual "facts" written regarding Trujillo and his crew.
(If any one knows of interesting readings on him let me know)
What i do know is what my mom who lived thru that age tells me.
My moms family were well to do, but when Trujillos crew started going into homes and picking out the young girls they wanted to take as lovers my grandfather left the city and went into the country side where they would not be bothered. My mom and her sisters (6 of them) were taken out of school and into the hills, and many other families did the same.
Education was no longer a subject because everyone needed to pitch in, they had money but no help.
Long story short, a lot of families lost what they had to save their daughters from that fate.
She did say that you could sleep with your windows and doors open.
Another interesting thing she says is that in almost every home people had a picture of him and that when anybody gave thanks for meals they would have to thank Trujillo first and then God.
I think he's a good role model for anyone interested in becoming a dictator.
