The Iron Thorn

The revised and greatly expanded edition of the well-known book, The Fighting Maroons of Jamaica, 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 gureilla warfare.
