    A Must Read
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2015*

This book should be read by everyone in the US.  We in the US don't realize what our policies have done to countries in Latin America.  We helped depose the most beloved and popularly elected president in Haiti, Aristide.  We and our NGOs have brought in cheap food which contributed to the decimation of the Haitian agricultural sector.  Now people don't have jobs, they have US supported officials, no public education, a literacy rate of 50%, not much indoor plumbing or waste disposal.  Very poor infrastructure, no trees, the land turns to mud when it rains.  The mud flows into the ocean which kills the fish and coral reefs.  It is an environmental and humanitarian disaster.  And little missionaries go over and try to help but there is no coordination of their efforts and no follow through.  Many of their projects fall apart after they leave.  People tried to help like Clinton and Sean Penn but they didn't consult the local officials, they sometime did what benefited them and their friends rather than Haiti.  Did they really need a brand new hotel when most of the country doesn't have running water?  I will be going to Haiti soon and will report back after the trip.

    The Book to Read on Haiti
  

*by N***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2011*

No foreign policy issue is more distorted in the corporate media than Haiti, with the exception of Isreal/Palestine.  Peter Hallward has written a marvelous book with a politically engaged perspective.  His account of the years leading up to the U.S. kidnapping of Aristide in 2004 is an invaluable corrective to the demonization of Aristide and Lavalas.  The story of Haiti, as told by Hallward, gives the reader insight into the lengths the U.S. government will go to repress popular movements that seek to redistribute wealth.  Most Americans cannot comprehend the level of repression the U.S. can bring to bear on a small country like Haiti.  For further evidence see the diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks and published in The Nation magazine.  This book receives the highest praise from Chomsky, Zizek, and Dr. Paul Farmer.  You shouldn't need any further proof that is is a must read.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good, but...
  

*by S***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 13, 2011*

This is an important book for understanding the negative influences of international forces in Haiti, but the author's insistence on Aristide's position as an innocent victim and a leader of a unified opposition movement presents too simplified a picture of the current political situation in Haiti.
