"An excellent piece of research on a topic that is both important and neglected. Roorda's determination to look at this bilateral relationship as the product of a multiplicity of actors is indeed unique."--Bruce Calder, University of Illinois at Chicago
Focuses on the relations between the US and the Dominican Republic following Rafael Trujillo's seizure of power in 1930. Using untapped records, privately held papers, and unpublished photographs, this book shows how caution, confusion, and conflicting goals marked US relations with Trujillo and set the tone for the ambivalent Cold War relations.
