'Grenada' presents an in-depth survey of the background to the American invasion of Grenada in 1983. Based on extensive research, including interviews with many insiders, three Caribbean specialists look at the origins of the Grenadian revolution and its achievements, at American policy toward the Caribbean, at the growing Cuban involvement in the region, and at the response of the Commonwealth Caribbean countries. The authors go on to consider in detail the internal struggle for power in Grenada that exploded into a violent coup and led to the death of Maurice Bishop. They conclude with a examination of Grenada's future and the impact the invasion has had on Caribbean and international politics.
