An eyewitness account of the 1994 invasion and occupation of Haiti. From the Pentagon's war room to the bitter infighting in the divided US embassy Shacochis chronicles the stories of soldiers, their exploits and frustrations, their inner lives as well as their heroic deeds, as they struggle to bring democracy to a country ravaged by tyranny.
Industry Reviews
"Every war brings forth one perfect book . . . Now we have "The Immaculate Invasion", the masterpiece of the 1994 U.S. assault on and occupation of Haiti." --"Chicago Tribune""A bitter, funny, engrossing adventure between the mysteries and comedy of the American military machine and the infinite suffering of Haiti." --Herbert Gold, "San Francisco Chronicle""An unforgettable mixture of hard journalism and sharp commentary that captures much of the absurdity and futility of the 1994 American-led U.N. invasion of Haiti." --Kenneth Maxwell, "Foreign Affairs""An extraordinary book about an extraordinary event. . . I felt transported to Haiti. I could hear it. I could smell it. At moments I felt moved almost to tears, only to find myself, a page or two later, laughing out loud." --Tracy Kidder
