Damming the flood : Haiti, Aristide, and the politics of containment

In February 2004, the constitutionally elected government of Jean Bertrand Aristide was overthrown by a US-France invasion with the blessing of the UN Security Council. Exploring how Haiti became a laboratory for "politics of containment," this title examines the rise, rule and collapse of Aristide's administration.
