Book excerpt: Grenada is a small island nation located in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, lying north of Trinidad and Tobago, and south of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The country is made up of three islands, namely Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. Grenada has an area of approximately 348 square kilometers and a population of around 112,000 residents. The capital city of the country is St. George's, which is located on the southwestern coast of Grenada. The history of Grenada can be traced back to the arrival of the Carib Indians, who traveled from South America and settled on the islands around 800 AD. In the late 15th century, the Spanish arrived on the island, but they never fully colonized it due to fierce resistance from the Caribs. The French and British also had interest in the island and established settlements there. Grenada gained independence from the British in 1974, and it is now a democratic, multi-party state that operates under a parliamentary system of government. The economy of the country is largely based on agriculture, particularly the production of cocoa and nutmeg, as well as tourism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1983, arguably the coldest year of the decades-long Cold War, the world's greatest superpower invaded Grenada, a Marxist-led Caribbean nation the size of Atlanta. Why and how this unlikely one-week war was waged was shrouded in secrecy at the time--and has remained so ever since. This book is an overdue reconsideration of Operation Urgent Fury, based on historical evidence that only recently has been revealed in declassified documents, oral history interviews and memoir accounts. This chronological narrative emphasizes the human dimension of a sudden crisis now regarded as the greatest foreign policy challenge of President Ronald Reagan's first term. Because the American intervention was hastily drafted, many snafus and accidents marked the chaotic initial days of the operation. Inevitably it fell to individual soldiers, aviators and sailors to perform heroic acts to make up for faulty intelligence, inadequate communication or poor coordination. This work recounts their inspiring, underreported stories in filling out a more complete portrait of Operation Urgent Fury. The final chapter recounts the invasion's aftereffects, especially the unexpected role it played in Congressional reform of the military for future combat in the Middle East.

Book excerpt: This report presents information on the Grenada tuna fisheries, the components and results of the pre-assessment itself, and recommendations to improve the fisheries’ status in relation to the Marine Stewardship Council Fisheries Standard. Grenada’s yellowfin and bigeye tuna fisheries were assessed against the MSC standard for sustainable fisheries. This standard encompasses three distinct principles: Principle 1 –sustainability of the stocks; Principle 2 – ecosystem impacts; and Principle 3 – effective management. Each Principle in turn comprises a set of performance indicators (PI), of which there are 28 in total. Overall, the pre-assessment identified a significant number of shortcomings that would currently preclude the fishery from achieving conformity with the MSC Fisheries Standard.

This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1979 Grenada Revolution, orchestrated by the New Jewel Movement, culminated four-and-a-half years later in the execution of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and the US-led military invasion which threw Grenada onto the international political stage. Though much has been written on the Revolution and its untimely and violent demise, the overwhelming majority of the authors have been non-Grenadian. All the contributors to this volume, except one, are Grenadian. In this regard, it is unique, and captures the voices of persons who were active participants, children, teenagers, young adults, and some yet unborn in the 1979 to 1983 period, illustrative of the continued influence of the Revolution on Grenadians. The essays examine the legality of the Revolution, the historical connections between it and the 1795 Fédon’s Rebellion, the nation’s collective memory of the Revolution by its second generation, the conflict between religion and the Revolution, the empowerment of women by the revolutionary process, and the role of poetry and art in raising salient and often difficult and painful aspects of the Revolution. This collection of essays captures the Revolution from a Grenadian perspective.
