Minireview: An exhaustively detailed and documented history of a popular uprising in the Dominican Republic and its suppression by the United States. Focuses on military and diplomatic history, and will probably remain the definitive account until remaining classified documents are released. My main criticism is that I might have liked more social history of the revolt and conditions in the Dominican Republic than was included. (
