About this book:
From Trinidad to Yucatän, it is the magnificent Caribbean Sea itself which shapes the turbulent history of the rich and beautiful chain of islands in its embrace.
James Michener directs an extravaganza with actors as diverse and lively as any in his fiction – Columbus, Nelson, Drake, Toussaint L’Ouverture, Henry Morgan, the despotic Governor Eyre of Jamaica and revolutionary Fidel Castro. Woven between their lives are those of a supporting cast of slaves, settlers, pirates, planters, buccaneers and rebels.
Sweeping through the Caribs, Arawaks,
Europeans, Rastafarians, Cuban immigrants and myriad tourists of the present day, Caribbean reads like a hurricane.
