THE IMMACULATE INVASION
Book ID/图书代码： 02330010B34488
English Summary/英文概要： For eighteen months, Bob Shacochis covered "Operation Uphold Democracy" in Haiti, where he bunked with a team of Special Forces Commandos--the most highly trained and sophisticated warriors in history. There, he observed both the heroic exploits and the unrelenting frustrations of men struggling to be soldiers in a military environment in which "acceptable losses" has evolved to mean "no losses whatsoever." From the Pentagon’s war room to the dangerously divided U.S. embassy in Port-au-Prince and the inner circles of both Haiti’s military junta and the terrorist group FRAPH, Shacochis chronicles what the military calls OTW--Operations Other Than War. The result is a revelatory view of modern-day warfare, an assessment of our obligations as the world’s peacekeeper, and a song of freedom dedicated to not just the Haitian people, but to any culture staggering through the aftershock of twentieth-century imperialism.
"A bitter, funny, engrossing adventure between the mysteries and comedy of the American military machine and the infinite suffering of Haiti."-- Herbert Gold, San Francisco Chronicle
"Every war brings forth one perfect book. . . . Now we have The Immaculate Invasion, the masterpiece of the 1994 U.S. assault on and occupation of Haiti." --James Zug, Chicago Tribune --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 18个月来，鲍伯·沙克西斯掩盖了在海地的“坚持民主运动”，在那里他给一队特种突击队提供住宿，这支部队是史上训练最好武器最精密的战士最出色的队伍。在那里，他看到了真正的英雄的英勇事迹，也看到了那些拼命入伍的战士陷入可接受范围的损失到不能再有损失的无情的挫败感。从五角大楼的作战室到危险的美国大使馆以及海地军事集团和恐怖集团的内部圈，沙克西斯按时间顺序将此载入史册，军事上更倾向于称之为运动而非战争。结果揭露了现代战事的观点，我们作为世界和平守护者的义务以及讴歌了不止是海地人民，还有许多经过20世纪帝国主义的余震影响的人们对自由做出的贡献。
