Blending Haitian history and culture with his accounts of living amongst a Special Forces team, Shacochis achieves an unsettling triumph of combat journalism that will earn The Immaculate Invasion comparisons to other modern classics, such as Michael Herr's Dispatches. Its focus on compassion urges a profound redirection of the purposes and application of American interventionism. --James Highfill
As for the events I describe which Mr. Garrison characterizes as a lie, their accuracy is unimpeachable. The regime's pre-Lenten Carnival activities fizzed. The bands Sweet Mickey, Digital Express, and Coupe Cloue were all asked by the tyrants to perform on the Champs du Mars a few weeks before the actual Carnival festivities. No one attended these performances--a couple hundred people at the most, which, for the carnival season, qualifies as no one. The regime next asked RAM to play in the Champs du Mar kiosk, as described in the book. A few days later another band played at the kiosk but the concert was interrupted by shooting. Finally, Carnival weekend approached, and the three days of street fetes culminating in Ash Wednesday. These festivities were indeed attended by large crowds, as were the subsequent carnivals during the years of the de facto regime.
That Mr. Garrison witnessed elements in the crowd cheering General Cedras is no surprise. Unfortunately, the majority of Haitians, honorable and long-suffering people, know all too well that there exists in Haitian society an abundance of thugs and sycophants who are always willing to cheer a dictator--or work for one.
