The US invasion of Grenada in 1983 was seen as a victory for freedom. By the early 1990s, however, the story of post-invasion Grenada had become one of disillusionment and cynicism. This work reveals the extent of the US failure, economic and political, and its impact on the island's people.

Based on extensive first-hand research, reveals the extent of the U.S. failure - economic and political - in Grenada and the impact of that failure on the island's people. Contrasting post-invasion policy with the revolutionary period, it offers an in-depth account of Grenada's turbulent history and its troubled prospects.
