Impact of Intervention

First U.S. paperback edition, spring 2006. Reprint of the 1984 edition with a new, extensive introduction by the author."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

A comprehensive and tolerant study, devoid of jargon...an excellent study.--New York Times ""A particular good summary of US imperialism...and a clear description of Dominican society.""--Political Science Quarterly. ""A work of exceptional historical analysis.""--Amer. Historical Review
