Notes

1. The OAS resolution, eventually supported by the United States, explicitly rejected intervention in the conflict.

2. A recent book published in Spanish in the Dominican Republic also covers much of the internal politics that led up to the revolt and intervention. It is less comprehensive, however, in discussing the decision to intervene. See Eduardo Latorre, Política dominicana contemporánea (Santo Domingo: Instituto Technológico de Santo Domingo, 1979).

3. (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1972).

4. For an extensive listing and discussion of literature on the Dominican Republic and the 1965 crisis, see the valuable bibliographic essay and appendices that follow the Gleijeses study.

5. In particular, with Lincoln Gordon, the U.S. ambassador during Goulart's presidency.

6. See his Overtaken by Events: The Dominican Crisis from the Death of Trujillo to the Civil War (Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, 1966).
