Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the 1950s and 1960s, during the rule of Rafael Trujillo over the Dominican Republic, the armed forces of the Dominican Republic experienced a major military build-up. Especially the Dominican Air Force (FAD) grew in strength. The pattern was followed by short-lived governments of Rafael'…s brother Hector, then Joaquin Balaguer, and Rafael Bonnelly. On 27 February 1963, Juan Emilio Bosch Gavino, the first democratically elected president of the Dominican Republic, was sworn into office. He attempted to implement a number of social reforms, but promptly caused anger of the business magnates and top brass of the armed forces, who began spreading rumours that Bosch is a 'communist'. On 25 September 1963, the President was toppled in a coup by a group of 25 military officers led by General Elias Wessin y Wessin, who installed Donald Reid Cabral as the new president. Rather unsurprisingly, Reid failed to attract popular support and several factions became involved in a power-struggle. The so-called Lealistas (Loyalistas), headed by Generals Pedro Benoit and Antonio Imbert, were aiming to uphold a military dictatorship. The Constitutionalistas (Constitutionalists), headed by General Francisco Caamano, and allied with the Dominical Revolutionary Party, were supporting Bosch. On 24 April 1965, three junior o icers demanded a meeting with President Reid. When he refused, and sent Chief of Staff Riviera Cuesta instead, the latter was arrested. A group of military constitutionalists then seized the Radio Santo Domingo and issued calls of sedition, while other off icers began distributing arms to their civilian sympathisers. The radio calls prompted several units to defect and abandon their position. Appointing General Wessin y Wessin the new Chief of Staff, Reid attempted to rally remaining armed forces around himself and suppress the rebellion. However, at Constitutionalistas then stormed the presidential palace in Santo Domingo and arrested him. The Lealistas reacted with air strikes on numerous Constitutionalista positions, and deploying a warship to bombard the National Palace. Fearing that the mob gathering outside the palace might lynch Reid, and knowing Bosch was already lost the support of the Loyalists, the rebel commander Francisco Caamano who meanwhile had over 6,500 under arms released the president. At that point in time, the United States of America became involved. Initially, the US diplomats planned an evacuation of about 3,500 US citizens, and early on 27 April, over 1,100 of expatriates were airlifted out of the country. However, when Lealista troops marched on the capital, while rebels secured additional positions, executed a number of police officers, and a soldier of the US Marine Corps was killed by a rebel sniper, the US Ambassador declared the insurgents 'Communists' and demanded the US President Lyndon B Johnson to act immediately. Contrary to recommendations from his advisors, Johnson ordered a transformation of evacuation into an all-out military intervention: Operation Power Pack. The first overt US military intervention in Latin America in more than 30 years was initiated early on 30 April 1965, and saw the involvement of 22,500 troops, two aircraft carriers and over 200 aircraft and helicopters. Following weeks of often chaotic fighting, and two failed cease-fires, a truce was secured through mediation by the Organisation of American States (OAS). Replaced by 1,500 OAS troops, the US forces began a gradual withdrawal in late May 1965, but the civil war formally ended only on 31 August with a ceasefire agreement. Richly illustrated by authentic photography and customdrawn colour profiles, Operation Power Pack is the first military history of the civil war, and the US- and OAS-interventions in the Dominican Republic of 1965.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Volume 2 of Operation Power Pack continues the definitive military history of the Dominican Civil War and its international ramifications, examining the conflict from the outbreak of the April Revolution through the imposition of an uneasy peace and the withdrawal of foreign forces in 1966.… Following the collapse of the Reid Cabral government in April 1965, Santo Domingo descended into intense urban warfare as Constitutionalist forces under Colonel Francisco Caamano confronted Loyalist units loyal to the military junta. This volume traces the conflict day by day, charting the rapid escalation from mutiny to full-scale civil war, the arming of civilian militias, the collapse of public order, and the brutal fighting that engulfed the Dominican capital. Particular attention is paid to the complex interplay between Dominican political factions, rival military commands, and the growing involvement of foreign powers. Central to this volume is the multinational dimension of the conflict. While United States forces dominated the initial intervention, responsibility for stabilisation soon passed to the Inter-American Peacekeeping Force (IAPF), formed under the auspices of the Organization of American States. Drawing on previously unpublished sources and eyewitness material, this book provides the first detailed operational history of the IAPF, including the roles played by Brazilian, Paraguayan, Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Costa Rican contingents. Their deployments, rules of engagement, internal command structures, and interactions with both Dominican forces and the civilian population are examined in depth. The narrative continues beyond the cessation of major combat operations, analysing the prolonged and fragile peacekeeping mission, the suppression of continued insurgent activity, and the political negotiations that culminated in the election of Joaquin Balaguer in 1966. The volume concludes with an assessment of the longer-term consequences of the intervention and an appendix examining Francisco Caamano's final, ill-fated guerrilla campaign in 1973. Like Volume 1, Operation Power Pack Volume 2 is richly illustrated with rare and unpublished photographs, detailed maps, and the atWar series' trademark colour profiles depicting the aircraft, armoured vehicles, and equipment used by Dominican, US, and Inter-American forces. Together, the two volumes form the most comprehensive military study yet published of the 1965 Dominican Civil War and one of the most significant Cold War interventions in the Western Hemisphere.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Cuban Military Aviation Volume 2: The Cuban Army Air Force, the fight against Castro's Guerrillas, and the Bay of Pigs, 19521961 continues the definitive two-part study of Cuba's air power, examining the turbulent decade that saw the island's military aviation thrust into sustained combat,…political collapse, and Cold War confrontation. Following the reorganisation of the Cuerpo de Aviacion del Ejercito de Cuba into the Fuerza Aerea del Ejercito de Cuba (FAEC) in 1952, Cuban air power expanded rapidly in response to the growing insurgency led by Fidel Castro's Movimiento 26 de Julio. Drawing on extensive archival research, rare photographs, and first-hand accounts, this volume traces how the FAEC evolved from a conventional air arm into a force heavily engaged in counterinsurgency operations, flying thousands of combat sorties against guerrilla forces in the Sierra Maestra and across the island. The book provides a detailed operational analysis of air campaigns conducted with aircraft such as the F-47 Thunderbolt, B-26 Invader, T-33 Shooting Star, and a wide array of light liaison and attack aircraft. It examines the introduction of helicopters, forward air control techniques, night operations, and the growing strains placed on personnel and materiel by an intensifying civil war, compounded by political interference, corruption, and the imposition of a US arms embargo. With the collapse of the Batista regime in January 1959, Cuban military aviation underwent a dramatic transformation. The FAEC was dissolved and replaced by the Fuerza Aerea Revolucionaria (FAR), inheriting much of its predecessor's equipment but stripped of experienced aircrew through purges, trials, imprisonment, and exile. This volume charts the chaotic reconstitution of the air force under revolutionary rule, the reliance on civilian pilots and foreign volunteers, and the difficult transition toward Soviet alignment. The final chapters offer a comprehensive account of the air war during the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961, analysing the decisive aerial engagements between the FAR and the exile Fuerza Aerea de Liberacion, flown largely with aircraft inherited from the pre-revolutionary era. These operations marked the last combat use of many Second World Warera aircraft in Cuban service and directly shaped Havana's rapid turn to Soviet air power. Extensively illustrated with period photographs, colour profiles, maps, and detailed aircraft tables, Cuban Military Aviation Volume 2 provides the most thorough English language examination to date of Cuban air operations during revolution and regime change. Together with Volume 1, it forms an essential reference for aviation historians, military scholars, and readers interested in Latin American conflicts and early Cold War air warfare.
