• Sommario/riassunto: This book, edited by Patsy Lewis, Gary Williams, and Peter Clegg, provides a comprehensive analysis of the Grenada Revolution and the subsequent U.S. invasion. It explores the socio-political landscape of Grenada from 1979 to 1983, including the overthrow of Eric Gairy by the New JEWEL Movement and the eventual collapse of the People's Revolutionary Government. The book examines the international implications of the revolution, particularly its socialist orientation and its connections with Cuba and the Soviet bloc, which challenged U.S. influence in the Caribbean. It also delves into the roles of women, youth, and the media during the revolutionary period. The intended audience is scholars and students of Caribbean history and international relations.
