Diario de la Guerra de Abril de 1965
«La Guerra de Abril: el diario dominicano de Tad Szulc Los reportajes diarios de Szulc en el New York Times entre el 28 de abril y el 27 de mayo de 1965 no solo describieron en forma dramática lo que realmente estaba ocurriendo en Santo Domingo, desmintiendo lo que el gobierno de Lyndon Johnson señalaba, sino que influyeron considerablemente en crear una opinión pública adversa a la gestión del presidente estadounidense en Santo Domingo. Así, Robert Kennedy, hermano del difunto John F. Kennedy, criticó la intervención militar disintiendo por primera vez de la gestión de Lyndon Johnson, y el presidente de la Comisión de Política Exterior del Senado, J. William Fullbright, ordenó una investigación sobre lo que ocurría en Santo Domingo.
Mientras los portavoces del gobierno estadounidense decían que sus tropas eran neutrales y que la intervención se justificaba por el control comunista de la revolución, Szulc en sus reportajes evidenciaba el apoyo de esas tropas a las lideradas por Antonio Imbert y Elias Wessin y Wessin, y contaba cómo el control de la revolución realmente estaba en manos de oficiales constitucionalistas.»
