"A comprehensive and tolerant study"-New York Times Book Review

"A comprehensive and tolerant study, devoid of jargon. . . . Calder, a historian at the University of Illinois at Chicago, fairly describes the mixed results of the occupation. . . . Some readers may disagree with Mr. Calder's assessment of the occupation's long-term costs--Dominican hostility to the United States and, less directly, the Trujillo regime that began in 1930--but this is nevertheless an excellent study." --The New York Times Book Review
