Summary
"Provides detailed reconstruction of and background to the developments of May 30, 1969, the date on which an industrial strike escalated into major socioeconomic unrest. In accordance with the Charter of the Kingdom, the Curaçaoan government called in the Dutch military to restore order. Despite book's title, author argues that this assistance cannot be labeled an intervention. Also claims that there were secret plans to transfer sovereignty over the Netherlands Antilles to Venezuela, but hypothesis lacks substantial proof"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
