The conflicts inside his own camp with his friend, and, at the last, deadly antagonist, Pablo de Leon, who preferred the Spaniards, the beautiful and tender love story with the guerrilla girl, Kedela, is told in a taut poetic prose that fits like a glove over the tensions and brutal encounters of a nation being born. Little is known, outsdie of Caribbean annals, of the part played by the Jamaican guerrilla Juan de Bolas in the adventure which established the English in these storied seas. The Jamaicans is the great novel which provides a magnificent tale of these times."-from the insde cover page. Edgeworn, some creasing along spine, else very good. 35.00
