Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-05 00:00:00 Mishka Khorasheh Former U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic speechwriter/confidant to: Adlai Stevenson John F. Kennedy Robert F. Kennedy Lyndon B. Johnson Hubert Humphrey also did a two volume biography of Adlai Stevenson --- Political career Martin was hired in 1952 as a speechwriter by Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson, and later worked on the Kennedy presidential campaign. Martin was sent by Kennedy on a fact-finding mission to the Dominican Republic after the assassination of the dictator Rafael Trujillo in May 1961, and delivered his report in September. In gratitude for his analysis, he became the U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, serving from 9 March 1962 to 25 September 1963. As Ambassador, Martin was an unrelenting critic of the new president, Juan Bosch. According to the historian Stephen G. Rabe, Martin "fancied himself a Roman consul whose word should be law in the Dominican Republic." Martin resigned shortly after the Kennedy assassination, on the very day in which Bosch was toppled in a coup d'etat, but he returned to the Dominican Republic as a special envoy in 1965 during the invasion dispatched by Johnson.
