About This Item
Osprey Pub Co, 1985. New book, 48 pages, MAA159. On 21 October 1983, following the death of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, the leaders of the six small nations forming the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States voted to intervene militarily to restore order in Grenada. As none possessed the forces necessary to carry out a successful operation, the United States, fearing for its citizens on the island, and wanting to curb Cuba's growing influence, decided to get involved. This book provides a day-by-day account of the US invasion of Grenada, focusing on the units and forces deployed. Numerous contemporary photographs and colour plates detail the uniforms and equipment of the US, Cuban and Caribbean forces. Contents: The 'New Jewel' Movement - The Decision for Intervention - The First Day: 25 October - The Second Day: 26 October - The Third Day: 27 October - Final Operations - The Plates.. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Hannon, Paul. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
