Diederich, Bernard and Al Burt.
Port-au-Prince: Henri Deschamps, 1986.

PAPA DOC: THE TRUTH ABOUT HAITI TODAY. McGraw-Hill: New York, 1969.

Bob Corbett notes:

This is the best source I have yet seen to explain and make the case of why Haiti is so dominated by U.S. power and why U.S. foreign policy has been one of support for various dictatorial rulers in Haiti.
