His father’s and mother’s lineages indicated that Antonio José should first embrace a military career; his own father became commander-in-chief of the Cumaná Army.

As I explain in my book (A la rencontre d'un cœur rebelle), Dominique had three lives, a first one in which he was a political activist, a second more meditative one that I call the recourse to the forests, and a third in which he became the historian that we know.
