“Beginning with tribal conflicts on the island of Dominica, Caribbean sweeps on to tell of the arrival of Columbus and the establishment of 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.”
