Product Description
A full decade before the horrific attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, the small Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago came under its own terrorist assault from a small fundamentalist Muslim group known as the Jamaat al Muslimeen. For six days in 1990, the country, a former British colony that had achieved its independence in 1962, was virtually held for ransom as the terrorists launched an armed invasion of the sitting Parliament and the country s lone television station. Days of Wrath recounts the six days of terror wrought by a handful of Muslim terrorists. Told by a seasoned journalist who was one of the hostages in the Trinidad and Tobago Television building, this sensational account describes in vivid detail the scene that had the citizens of the nation wondering if they would now have to submit to another form of colonization.

Great Hisory! April 17, 2008
Patty (U.S)
I enjoyed this book very much, it was a bit repetitive at times but still a good read, I finished it in one day! I was only five years old when this happened, and unfortunately, the history and the events surrounding the coup was never on our cirriculum in school (I attended school in Trinidad from elementary to high school. Anyone who wants a taste of Trinidadian history should buy this book.
