We Move Tonight: The Making of the Grenada Revolution
On March 13th 1979 West Indians were stunned as they awoke to the news of the first successful revolution in the English Speaking Caribbean. Four and a half years later the Grenada Revolution succumbed to tragedy and US military invasion. This book is the first to give the inside story of how the revolution was made. It chronicles the thinking, the internal debates, concrete plans and actions of the Grenadian revolutionaries as they both responded to events unfolding in the 1970's and sought to shape them. This critical period in Grenada’s modern history is narrated from personal experience by the author who, as a 20 year old, took part in the assault on the army barracks which set in motion the Grenada Revolution. Following the US-led invasion he was imprisoned for 26 years during which time he wrote this book. The author is the holder of Law degrees from London University and a graduate of Hugh Wooding Law School.
