Description

The book spotlights the deeds and hardships of West Indian soldiers long engaged in Africa and the Middle East, and of the many who enlisted too in the air forces and merchant navies of the Allies. It describes the ferocious German submarine campaign in Caribbean waters, the impact that it had on life in the islands and how it was defeated. It also defines the consequences - social, political and economic - of the World Wars on both the British West Indies and the United Kingdom. This book is written as a tribute to every West Indian veteran of Britain's wars; also to foster in the generation now growing up an awareness of the sacrifices of their forebears and pride in their achievements.
