Reviews for Clinton in Haiti: 'An engaging and wonderfully readable account of the circumstances leading up to the U.S. invasion of Haiti in 1994, and its restoration of Jean-Bertrand Aristide as Haitian president.' - Elizabeth Abbott, Trinity College, University of Toronto, Canada 'This is an extraordinarily well written account that places Clinton's Haitian foreign policy in historical perspective. Linguistic wit ... Read moreand analytical sophistication prevail as Girard skillfully weaves readers through the complexities and tragedy of Haiti's history and the highly touted, but unsuccessful aftermath of the 1994 "invasion" by U.S. troops to restore Aristide and democracy to this Caribbean republic. Until Clinton administration classified documents become available this will remain the standard account and an object lesson for all future American cut-and-run attempts at peace-keeping and nation-building.' - Joan Hoff, Montana State University, Bozeman, USA 'Written by an outstanding young French scholar of recent American history, this examination of U.S. intervention in Haiti under Bill Clinton probes the motivations behind an unnecessary military action and explains the ways in which objective failure is translated into political success. The author's finely-calibrated sense of irony makes his work as entertaining as it is instructive.' - Alonzo L. Hamby, Ohio University, USA and author of For the Survival of Democracy: Franklin Roosevelt and the World Crisis of the 1930s Show Less
