Synopsis:
The lush islands of the Caribbean have always possessed a special allure - as colonial treasures in days gone by, as vacation retreats today. Told in James A. Michener‘s incomparable fashion, here is a magnificent story of the struggle for empire, and of political, economic and racial currents and one of the most beautiful and hotly contested regions of the globe.
Beginning with tribal conflicts on the island of Dominica, Caribbean sweeps on to tell of the arrival of Columbus and the establishment Spanish control and of the English campaign to wrest power away. Then on to the great days of the Buccaneers, the rise of the Jamaican sugar plantations, the bloody slave revolt of 1800 on Haiti, the eventual freedom from slavery throughout the islands, and moving up to the problems of the present day.
