The Iron Thorn: The Defeat of the British by the Jamaican Maroons

Carey Robinson

LMH Publishing, Jamaica. 2007. Paperback. Some soiling to text block, otherwise a pristine copy. Excellent.

From the publisher:

"The revised and greatly expanded edition of the well-known book, The Fighting Maroons of Jamaica (Collins & Sangster 1969), vividly describes the Maroons’ war against the British in Jamaica.

Benefiting from twenty years of additional thorough research, Carey Robinson’s new work gives explicit details of the lifestyles and fighting tactics of both forces. The author eloquently describes the heroism and genius of the Maroons, and their mastery of guerilla warfare.

Carey Robinson has made almost a lifetime study of Jamaica’s history, from the “people’s perspective.” He has written numerous radio and television scripts, stage plays and films on historical themes. The Fighting Maroons of Jamaica was his first book, followed by Fight for Freedom which was published by Kingston Publishers in 1987."

I am guessing you don't know much about Jamaica's history. Neither do it! What a mistake that is...this book is awesome. Check it out and learn about some hidden history.
