Overview

Highlighting the leadership and legacy of nineteen Caribbean political figureheads, author Willie James eloquently illustrates an arduous Caribbean struggle for political and economic survival and ultimate independence.Throughout the decades, the Caribbean states struggled politically, but unfortunately remained fragmented. Unquestionably, however, the islands produced some of the most brilliant of people--many of whom are featured in this book.From the intellectual giant turned tyrant, Forbes Burnham, president of Guyana, to the hero of the Grenada Crisis and prime minister of Barbados, Tom Adams, to the infamous Dr. Fidel Castro, the synthesis of exemplary leadership in spite of unrelenting American adversity, Charismatic Crisis-Prone Caribbean Leaders of Our Era boldly tells the stories of these nineteen leaders and how they have impacted the Caribbean and the world.
