Produktinformationen zu „The Unforgiving (ePub)“
THE UNFORGIVING is set in the Dominican Republic during the heyday of
direct U.S. military intervention in the Caribbean. There are military actions,
betrayals, intrigue, good humor and romantic encounters between an American
Marine captain and the beautiful daughter of the wealthiest Dominican on the
island.
The novel takes place immediately after the end of the First World War and
depicts the impact of an occupying military force of Americans in the affairs of
a small nation. At issue is the conflict between the rights of small farmers and
powerful landowners. Marine officers and men find themselves in a critical
position between peasants lending support to guerrilla insurgents and ruthless
sugar barons.
This insightful book examines the unwelcome and unexpected role of American
Marines trying to resolve an age-old problem of exploitation of the weak and
helpless by the rich and powerful.
