Soft cover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. John Daunhaeur and Richard Garcia (illustrator). 2nd Edition. In 1632 the British officially arrived and colonized the eastern Caribbean island of Antigua, West Indies. Since then Antigua and Barbuda have had a long, and for the most part uninterrupted relationship with Britain prior to the islands gaining independence in 1981. The one exception to this was a brief time in 1666-1667 when the French invaded and devastated Antigua which was eventually returned to British rule in 1667 under the terms of the Treaty of Breda. This book outlines the geology, geography and history of Antigua with special emphasis on the French invasion of 1666. Illustrated with maps and photographs Additional postage may be required depending on destination. Contact bookseller for quote.
