EXCELLENT,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Dominican Republic: A National History (Paperback)
This book is an excelent example of clear and concise writing about a country.I must say that the English version is lighter, easier to read. The Spanish version is a must but the author knew best and improved the book by making it more fun to read in English. I highly recommend this book for anybody who wishes a clear understanding of the Dominican Republic

Excellent, the best history of the Dominican Rep. in English,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Dominican Republic: A National History (Paperback)
The Dominican Republic, A National History, by Dominicanprominent historian Frank Moya Pons is the best history of the Dominican Republic available in English today. Based on the 10th edition of the widely acclaimed Manual de Historia Dominicana, by the same author, this is an entirely new book intended for English speaking audiences. It contains maps, index, and a thorough, commentated bibliography of more than 750 items. It is also the first general academic history of the Dominican Republic published in the United States since Sumner Welles's Naboth Vineyard, in 1928. A must read to understand the contemporary events in that country. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful

Clear, Concise, and fun reading,
By andres j. ledesma - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Dominican Republic: A National History (Paperback)
An excellent book for anybody curious about Dominican history and politics. I was particularly interested in how Moya Pons shed light on regional politics/rivalries, caudillo politics, and the never ending battle between pure democracy and military backed political factions. I was also amazed at the political instability that existed in the pre-trujillo era and how this instability devastated the Dominican economy. Moya Pons' interpretation of Dominican history is both accurate and informative. I highly recommend this book.
