A fresh view of U.S involvement in the British West Indies during the Cold War.

Focused on the region as a whole and drawing from archives in Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana, St. Kitts, Antigua, the U.S. and U.K., this book details the region's impact on the U.S. (particularly  on Jim Crow), as it charts the British Empire's retreat in the face of a challenge from Washington.
