Title: La république exterminatrice
Description: "Haiti's senior political historian adds a new volume to his history of Haiti, as it can be reconstituted from the press. Volume focuses on years surrounding the US intervention, stressing particularly the weakness of the state as epitomized by General Nord-Alexis' defeat of the democratic forces that rallied around Joseph-Anténor Firmin in 1902. Nine years later Nord-Alexis himself would be replaced by another military figure"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
