A Nation Under Siege: Then and Now They didn't need to bomb us. They just had to make decisions for us. The world has found many ways to control Haiti. Sometimes they come loud-with guns, warships, and ultimatums like in 1897. Sometimes they come soft-with foreign missions, international diplomats, and uninvited alliances like in 2004. But the pattern is the same: Haitians are pushed aside while outsiders pull the strings. The Affair L ders in 1897 was not just about a man in prison. It was about Europe flexing its power to remind Haiti that freedom has limits when you're Black and bold. The Core Group in our century does not need to fire a single bullet. They simply sit in air-conditioned rooms and decide who will lead a country they do not live in. This book is not fiction. It is not propaganda.
