Overview
Between 1902 and 1915 Haiti occupied the center of a triangular contest among the United States, France, and Germany for commercial and financial supremacy in the Caribbean. Plummer's core argument is that the 1915 occupation was not a sudden event driven by the chaos of Vilbrun Guillaume Sam's overthrow, but rather the culmination of a decade-long process of financial encirclement, diplomatic attrition, and deliberate destabilization. The book opens as the Firminist war of 1902 ends one era of Haitian politics and closes as Admiral Caperton's Marines land at Port-au-Prince on July 28, 1915.
