Publisher Description
This book tells the present political situation in Haiti, to understand why the United States landed and has for five years maintained military forces in that country, why some three thousand Haitian men, women, and children have been shot down by American rifles and machine guns, July 27-28, 1915; and that this government has been compelled to keep a military force in Haiti since that time to pacify the country and maintain order.

Insightful
Although this book was written >100 years ago. This book provided pinpointed explanations of why and how the conditions of Haiti came into existence. From this book we can clearly see the same playbook continues to be in use today. If anyone that is of Haitian descent and born elsewhere this will provide a glimpse of understanding on why the country is in the condition that it is in.
