  9. The most recent scholarly printed account of the military occu­
    pation and the evolution of American policy for Cuba is David F.
    Healy, The United States in Cuba, 1898-1902: Generals, Politicians,
    and the Search for Policy (Madison, Wise, 1963). Professor Healy's
    study emphasizes the political pressures in Cuba and the United States
    that produced the Platt Amendment and the Reciprocity Treaty of 1903.
    Older but valuable accounts may be found in Charles E. Chapman, A
    History of the Cuban Republic (New York, 1927); Russell H. Fitz­
    gibbon, Cuba and the United States, 1900-1935 (Menasha, Wise,
    1935); John Kendrick Bangs, Uncle Sam Trustee (New York, 1902);
    and Albert G. Robinson, Cuba and the Intervention (New York, 1905).
