"A must-read not only for Haitianists, but also for anyone interested in the processes of political destabilization and popular disempowerment." -- Robert Fatton, professor of politics, University of Virginia; author,Haiti's Predatory Republic

"In this crucial work, based on years of interviews, investigative reporting, and analysis of classified US government documents, veteran journalist and scholar Jeb Sprague provides a shocking account of the role of paramilitaries in subverting the aspirations of the Haitian people for democracy, freedom , and development.” -- William I. Robinson, professor of sociology, University of California, Santa Barbara; author,Latin America and Global Capitalism
