The various chapters in "A Revolution Aborted" are well tuned, well documented, and they offer distinct insights into the Grenada tragedy.-- "San Juan Star Magazine" The 12 articles provide a remarkably comprehensive, informative and balanced account of the Grenadian Revolution and its aftermath by recognized specialists in Caribbean development and comparative politics.-- "Canadian Journal of Political Science" This volume takes the NJM experience seriously on its own terms and assesses its lessons for those who favor radical social and economic change in the Caribbean islands.-- "Foreign Affairs"
