5.0 out of 5 stars
Well-written memoir,
This review is from: Intervention in the Caribbean: The Dominican Crisis of 1965 (Hardcover)
Written by the commander, this book contains interesting insights into one of the "hot" conflicts of the Cold War, which very few people in the U.S. even remember today. It makes an excellent companion to the Leavenworth Paper on the same subject.
