Omschrijving

"A good history of a sordid intervention that submitted a people to autocratic rule and did little for economic development." --The New York Times

"From Schmidt we get the full details . . . of the brutal racist practices inflicted on the Haitians for nearly all of the nineteen-year American presence in the country." --American Historical Review

"The only thoroughgoing study of one of the more discreditable American interventions overseas." --Journal of Interdisciplinary History

"Should become the standard work on the subject. . . .required reading for specialists in Caribbean studies and U.S.-Latin American relations." --Choice

"A valuable addition to Latin American and U.S. historiography." --Library Journal

"Schmidt sees American racism, bondholders cultures, the technocratic side of Progressivism, and the National City Bank looting of Haiti as the factors motivating Wilson's 1915 invasion....As a detailed case study in an exceptional manifestation of U. S. imperial control the book will attract a readership beyond students of Caribbean history." --Kirkus

"An important and well-documented account....an interesting case study in twentieth-century imperialism. Schmidt sees the occupation of Haiti as part of a general tendency in American foreign policy...Schmidt analyses in detail the mechanics of the invasion, and discusses the actions, attitudes, and policies of the U.S. administration....A model of academic elegance." --Caribbean Studies

"All the more convincing because the author has used previously inaccessible archive materials." --Journal of American History
