The Dominican Republic, A National History, by Dominican
prominent 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.
