"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, "Every war brings forth one perfect book . . .
