Description

On March 13th 1979, West Indians were stunned as they awoke to the news of the first successful revolution in the English Speaking Caribbean. Four and a half years later the revolution succumbed to tragedy and US military invasion. This ordinary book is the first to give the inside story of the thinking, the internal debates, concrete plans and actions of the Grenadian revolutionary leaders as they both responded to events unfolding in the 1970’s and sought to shape them. The different and distinct personalities of the political and military leaders of the revolution come to life, as the creator, from his personal knowledge as a young patriot himself, narrates the events of the period and the roles of the quite a lot of leaders in them. Students of Grenadian and Caribbean history, politics and sociology will find this not only an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable read, but an indispensable reference work. Someone, moreover, who wishes to remember the seeds of both the remarkable achievements of the Grenada Revolution and of its implosion, will also want to study this book carefully. Written in an instantaneous, simple, engaging and at times poetic style, the extraordinary citizen of Grenada, the Caribbean region, and the West Indian Diaspora will find it inconceivable to put this book down once the first page is read.
