Praise for "Haiti"
"The best book in depth on the Haitian situation that I have ever
read. " --Graham Greene
"Elizabeth Abbott portrays a depth of misery and exploitation
which, it might be said without disrespect to Graham Greene, he was
only able to hint at." --"Newsday"
"Riveting." -- "The Economist"
"This book is powerfully composed with a dense rush of events and
documentation. " --"Los Angeles Times" "Abbott draws a forceful
portrait of a tyrant who gradually destroyed the country's
agricultural base while massacring all dissent--the amount of
grotesque violence in these pages is breathtaking--to create a
poster child for international aid . . . More than two decades
later, Abbott's theory of Duvalierism's enduring legacy holds
water." --"Kirkus"
