This chronicle and interpretation of recent military and political
events in the Dominican Republic analyzes the political behavior of
the countryfs armed forces and scrutinizes policies put in action
since the nation's civil war and the subsequent U.S. intervention
of 1965. Dr. Atkins covers the course of Joaquin Balaguer's lengthy
presidency, the remarkable events surrounding the 1978 election of
President Antonio Guzman, and the first months of Guzman's
administration, with particular attention being given to the role
of the armed forces in political processes. In describing the
Dominican experience with arms and politics, Dr. Atkins notes that
it is a case of noninstitutionalized civil-military relations
revolving around the president, his key associates, and the
officers of the military.
