The article focuses on the dictatorship role of Augusto B. Leguía. When he deposed dictator of Peru, first entered the presidential palace in Lima twenty-years ago, he was nearly not experienced in ways of dictatorships. Once troops dragged him out of his palace into the Plaza de la Inquisicion, where he had to do some fast talking about a forged death warrant in order to give his friends time to rescue him. Again, his house was surrounded at night and he had to man all his windows with armed servants until morning. Eventually Leguía was forced into exile.
